This temple sits in the middle of Denpasar’s traditional market (pasar badung) and is dedicated to the gods of wealth and commerce.  As such, it is where market vendors commonly stop by with offerings on the way to their stalls in the morning.

There are three temples here.  Just to the east of Pemuteran, heading east along the main road is the first of the three temples, Pura Pulaki. The Balinese offers prayers here throughout the day from all around the island. About 200 meters’ east of Pura Pulaki is Pura Pabean, which overlooks the picturesque coast towards Pemuteran and is worth climbing the few steps to the entrance of the temple for the view alone.

Another 300 metres east of Pura Pabean past the large number of warungs is a sign pointing to a road on the right towards Pura Melanting. This temple is the best out of the three for tourists because of the beautifully presented inner compound of the main temple. The inner compound has a number of small but serene ponds and a stunning meru painted in rainbow colors and decorated with countless yellow and white ceremonial umbrellas. Entry to the temple is by donation and a sarong and sash must be worn.
