Dalem Jagaraga Temple belongs to Pura Kahyangan Tiga, three of the main
temples in a village. This is the shrine to worship the god of death
Ciwa or Durga so that when someone dies, his/her soul will depart for
the heaven, not meandering on the earth. No definite source as reference
about when the temple was built, most people believe that it was built
during the Dutch colonial era, as displayed here on the relief carve,
showing the war between the local fighters against the Dutch in an epic
called Perang Jagaraga, battle of Jagaraga.
Location: Dalem Jagaraga Temple is located in Jagaraga Village, sub-district of Sawan, Buleleng, 11 km east of Singaraja.
