The carved temple of Pura Yeh Pulu was originally constructed in the 14th century and re-discovered again in 1925. Its name derives from yeh (water / spring) and pulu (stone container). The site sits somewhat hidden alongside an extensive rice paddy area. As you approach, you’ll find some cleansing baths before reaching the main reliefs. The five scenes that are depicted:
- An everyday scene of a man carrying a guci (urn) suspended by a pole.
- Figures in search of adventure, with a dwarven god standing out prominently from the rest of the frieze.
- Several hunters on horseback capturing a boar.
- Several men carrying a boar tied to a pole.
- A strange scene of a woman holding the tail of the horse of a nobleman.
The hollowed-out space at the end is where a priest would have lived, helping pilgrims with offerings.
