Built in the 13th century during the arrival of the Majapahit dynasty, Pura Masohpit is a Balinese Hindu Temple located in Denpasar. Notable for its red-brick architecture, the temple is the only one in Bali to adhere to the concept of Panca Mandala where the innermost sanctum is at the centre instead of facing Mount Agung, widely believed to be the spiritual centre of Bali. It is a testimony to Bali's rich religious and cultural legacy.
One of the most striking aspects of the temple is the larger-than-life statues of Garuda and the wind-god Batara Bayu. Extensive restoration works have been completed on the temple after an earthquake in 1917 reduced much of the temple to rubble.
