Barong Temple


Barong Temple is built around the IX-X century AD. Religious background of thistemple is a HinduIt is known from the findings of statues identified as Dewi Sri, the wife ofLord Vishnu who is the goddess of fertilitythe ornate winged shells (Sankha) which is one of the symbols (like) the god Vishnuand the top of the building (peak) in the form of gems(ratna). The building of this temple is expected to function for cult activities associated withthe application of fertilityThis may be related to soil conditions around the temple which is less fertileso that by worshiping Goddess Sri expected state of the soil will becomefertile.
