The Beji temple can be found in the village of Sangsit (east of Singaraja). The temple is, when you enter the side street, after 150 meters on the right, across the temple is a parking, entrance is 10,000 rp.
It is not a big temple and not really known by tourists, but indeed a very beautiful and unique temple because this temple is made of sandstone.
Pura Beji is built in the typical northern Bali style. Shrine bases and the white sandstone walls surrounding the temple are covered in foliage-like carvings e.g. vine motifs or figures of flowers, a feature that can only be found in northern Bali. Traces of colors have been discovered in these carvings, which indicate that the temple have been painted. Intact statues of demons and guardian nagas inspired by Hindu epics decorate the stone staircases and the walls.
The temple dates from the 15th century, the Majapahit era, the local farmers come here to pray for a good harvest and for the worship of Dewi Sri, the goddess of rice and fertility.
You can see that the temple is old, but the complex is reasonably well maintained. Behind the temple there are two ponds.
In this temple there are many statues, one of them is showing two Dutch soldiers who are depicted as musicians with a guitar and a rebab in their hands.
Make sure to bring a sarong when you visit the temple.
