ArchitecturePura Sada

Pura Sada was the former dynastic temple before the shifting to the new royal temple of Pura Taman Ayun in 1740. Interestingly, there are a number of unoccupied thrones in the temple precinct. Some scholars believe that these thrones symbolize the number of the persons who were in the boat during the funeral ceremony. This testifies that the temple was associated to the dead and the funeral cerwemony.
