Pura Dalem Ubud is a unique temple in Bali known as a "death temple" because it celebrates the balance between good and evil. The Balinese believe that recognizing evil is essential to appreciating the good. You'll find statues of demons, including the fearsome demon queen Rangda, who loves to snack on babies (yikes!). Located in central Ubud, this temple offers a different perspective on spirituality and is definitely worth a visit if you're in the area. Plus, they sometimes host traditional dance performances at night, so keep an eye out for those spooky spectacles!
