Thought to be the center of the old Pejeng Kingdom, Pura Puser Ing Jagat is a major pilgrimage site during the full moon, which attracts couples wishing for fertility and people who seek healing powers. Dating back to 1329, the large temple is adorned with unique reliefs with an intriguing history to suit – legend has it that Bali’s last indigenous king, Bedaulu, was able to escape from the Majapahit army in 1343 through an underground tunnel that leads to the secluded island of Nusa Penida. There is a stone in the temple that cannot be moved, as it is believed to be the secret entrance to this tunnel.

Pura Pusering Jagat in Bali treasures precious Hindu antiquities, cultural relics, exquisite statues of gods and goddesses and numerous other remains. In early times, this place was believed to be the naval of the world, a position of high spiritual significance. This sets the right reason for erecting a grand temple to observe religious rites and worshipping.

Just like other temples of the island, Pura Pusering Jagat in Bali consists of several shrines and courtyards limiting the external area reserved for general assembly and festive performances from the inner sanctum for gods. The entrance gate called "Candi Bentar" in Balinese language is highly ornate with sculptures and fine patterns.

The most important feature of Pura Pusering Jagat Temple in Bali is a carved stone vessel depicting a scene from Hindu epic "Mahabharata"
