Most of them, including Tanah Lot, <a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/bali\/pura-luhur-uluwatu-temple-bali\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Uluwatu<\/a> and Petitenget <a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/bali\/hindu-temples-in-bali\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">temple<\/a>, date back to the Javanese sage, Danghyang Nirartha, who visited Bali in 1498. As the story goes, on his journey south, Nirartha passed through the forests of Kerobokan, where he met a giant green ogre who fiercely guarded the land. The sage left a small chest \u2013 filled with his betel nut \u2013 with the ogre for safekeeping. Much like how people smoke cigarettes, betel is chewed in many parts of Asia. The ogre guarded the chest so well that anyone who got too close would fall ill with fear. To honour the sage and the ogre, the villagers built the Masceti Temple (also known as Petitenget Temple) by the shore, and ever since, the area has been known as Petitenget \u2013 the Beach of the Eerie Chest.<\/p>\n<h3>What to see at Petitenget&#8217;s Masceti Temple<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-180597 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2015\/12\/Pura-Masceti-courtyard-Petitenget-Temple-in-Seminyak-Bali-Indonesia-900x643.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2015\/12\/Pura-Masceti-courtyard-Petitenget-Temple-in-Seminyak-Bali-Indonesia-900x643.jpeg 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2015\/12\/Pura-Masceti-courtyard-Petitenget-Temple-in-Seminyak-Bali-Indonesia-768x549.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2015\/12\/Pura-Masceti-courtyard-Petitenget-Temple-in-Seminyak-Bali-Indonesia.jpeg 1400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Today, you can still visit the Masceti Temple at Petitenget and see the shrine where the legendary chest is said to be kept, along with an altar dedicated to the giant green ogre, Bh\u016bta Ijo. Conveniently located next to a parking lot for both beach-goers and pilgrims, this temple offers a mix of mysticism and beach vibes.<\/p>\n<p>Climb a set of red-brick stairs (guarded by dragons!) to reach the courtyard. The temple\u2019s unique blend of brick and sandstone architecture is stunning, and the views are just as impressive. From up here, you\u2019ll get a panoramic look at the ocean and the golden sand stretching below. After visiting the temple, relax on Petitenget Beach, enjoy the sunset, and sip on something refreshing as the waves roll in. Just don\u2019t mess with the magical chest, and you\u2019ll be good!<\/p>\n<h3>How much does it cost to visit Petitenget Temple?<\/h3>\n<p>The entrance fee is IDR 50,000 per person. The temple grounds are open 24 hours a day, but tourists are usually only admitted during daylight hours.<\/p>\n<h3>What should you wear to Petitenget Temple?<\/h3>\n<p>Like all Balinese temples, you\u2019ll need a sarong, shawl, and sash to enter Petitenget\u2019s courtyard, which you can rent or buy them at the entrance. You should always dress appropriately and respect local traditions when visiting Bali&#8217;s sacred sites.<\/p>\n<h3>What is the best time to visit Petitenget Temple?<\/h3>\n<p>If you really want to catch Petitenget Temple in all its glory, time your visit for the <em>piodolan<\/em> anniversary celebrations, which happen every 210 days in the local calendar. The temple\u2019s small pavilions are draped in iconic Balinese chequered cloths, and the atmosphere is electric. It\u2019s a great way to experience Bali\u2019s culture up close \u2013 and grab some epic photos while you\u2019re at it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Love this article on the legend of Petitenget?<\/strong><br \/>\nRead more from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ravinjay.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\"><strong>Dr. Ravinjay Kuckreja here<\/strong><\/a> \u2013 a Religious Studies lecturer and expert in ancient Balinese and Indian scriptures.
