The next temple I went into, was the opposite of the last; totally empty except for a single, intricate statue of Avalokitesvara, the buddha of loving kindness, who they might call Guanyin (because I think it's a Chinese place)
Almost every single town (even small villages!) has a walled temple (pura). The temples are all adorned with incredibly detailed sandstone statues that are like an amalgam of Indian, Chinese and South-Pacific stone carvings.
Later that afternoon, we left the hotel and decided to walk around and explore Seminyak. We ended up going to check out the local pura, which is a Balinese temple. "Puras are designed as an open air place of worship within enclosed walls, connected with a series of intricately decorated gates between its compounds."
