Denpasar


The capital city of Bali, Denpasar has many community temples called "Pura". One is the museum called Pura Jagatnatha, which is dedicated to the Supreme God, Sang Hyang Widi Wasa. The statue of a turtle and two dragons (prevalent in all temples) signify the foundation of the world.

Denpasar has recently been separated administratively from Badung Regency, to become a municipality, though the capital city of Badung for the time being is still located within Denpasar premises.
