At the base of a hidden ravine, Puncak Manik Mas Temple’s ancient shrines and ritual waters lie beside the solemn Setra Ganda Mayu burial ground. Legends of King Mayadenawa and the enduring rites of life and death linger here, casting a shadowed, unforgettable aura over this secluded and unknown temple.

Veiled in shadow and ritual power, Pura Dalem Puri Peliatan is one of Ubud’s most ominous sacred spaces, devoted to death, purification and realms beyond human life. A ceremonial heart for royal funerary rites, it is closely tied to Rangda, the Queen of Demons, whose fierce presence confronts dark forces. As a traditional Dalem temple, it functions as a liminal sanctuary where fire guide souls through the underworld.
