Pura Kehen

Pura Kehen is a Hindu temple in Bangli, Bali, and the state temple of the former Kingdom of Bangli. Built in terraces on a hillside, it is among the oldest temples on the island, with inscriptions that go back to the early Balinese kingdoms. Its courtyards include an eleven-tiered meru shrine and a great banyan tree holding a kulkul drum tower.
