Thanks Gustav, I asked the question because I heard of a pura in Tabanan that has something similar to this staged regularly.
Yes, we normally refer to a Balinese ruler's abode (hardly a palace) as a puri, but in fact it can be applied to the abode of any nobleman. Ordinary people sometimes use the word jokingly to apply to their own house. |

Alan, I wonder if that is not Puri Anyar Kerambitan.

No Gustav, it was a pura, supposedly there was a cave under this pura that held a hoard of sacred keris, tombak & other paraphernalia.
I got this story second hand, cannot vouch for any of it, but it was a good story, the teller was a longtime European ex-pat who lives near Ubud. |
