Behind the streets of Legian, Pura Dalem Kahyangan opens into a hidden ritual landscape where death is not an ending but a managed passage. Within this village temple system, funerals unfold as part of a long collective process, where bodies may wait for months or years before cremation. Guardians, thresholds and offerings structure every movement through the space, holding the boundary between everyday life and the realm of ancestors in constant, controlled transition.
