Bali is identical to its landscape, in every corner of Bali there must be a temple, so it's no wonder Bali gets the nickname of the Thousand Pura Island. In Menjangan Island, there is also a temple called Pura Agung Pingit Kelenting Sari. This temple is located at the end of Menjangan Island overlooking Java. The Ganesha statue located on the front of the temple has a height of about 15 meters. In this temple, there is also the Pagoda Dewi Kwan Im. This temple is a place of worship of God to protect the nature of Bali and especially the Menjangan Island itself.
There are no residents who live or settle on the island so that this temple is only used as a place for Tirta Yatra. For you or the Hindhu people who want to carry out the prayers at the Pura Agung Pingit Temple, you must pass through seven places of worship.
Starting from Taman Pingit Klenting Sari Temple, Kebo Iwa Great Harmony, Dewi Kwam Im Great Pagoda, Agung Dalem Lingsir Hall, Puncak Penataran Agung Pingit, Ida Betara Dalem Lingsir Waturenggong and the last is Sang Hyang Ganesha and Mrs. Dewi Parwati.
The Great Pagoda Building Dewi Kwam Im is the most unique place of worship. This Tri Dharma place of worship has a Buddhist architecture consisting of three undag and is similar to a pagoda. The pink color dominates this sacred building, another uniqueness is that it is not permissible to offer meat in this holy place. In the days of the kingdoms in history here there were Hindus and Buddhists. On the journey, it is not uncommon for both to go together and acculturation like this is born. Just as in Hinduism there is a Buddhist Shiva pedanda.
