in padangtegal



in padangtegal, 
monkey statue in holy 
black and white kain poleng


Between Ubud and the woodcarver's hamlet of Nyuhkuning lies the Padangtegal Monkey Forest Sanctuary, Mandala Wisata Wenara Wana Desa Pekraman. This little gold and white shrine to the monkey god shines like a beacon in the dark, dense jungle. The statue is dressed in gold and white and a holy kain poleng. The black and white checks represent the inevitable play and display of opposites in life.
