Things to Know about Vihara Dharmayana Temple 

You can escape the hustle and bustle of Kuta and step into the temple’s courtyard for a calming and serene time. There is a constant sense of incense smoke from the altars adding to the great spiritual ambiance of the Pura Vhara Dharmayana temple. 

There is a Kuta oasis which has a main structure, known as the Baktisala with huge round lanterns hanging from the ceiling and turns out to be very beautiful. And, next to Baktisala is a very small structure, the Dharmasala, where people do their prayers in front of small relics. 

You cannot forget the big Banyan tree opposite the Baktisala and the unique place of worship where prayers are made to the “Four-Faced-Buddha”. This is surrounded by a small moat where the turtles swim around or bask on the stones, making it a peculiar sight for the tourists to witness. 

Tourists are welcome to visit the Pura Vihara Dharmayana temple, but they should be following the ethics of the temple. They need to come in proper attire and no flash photography inside the praying rooms. So, make sure you are respecting the traditions and ethics if you want to visit the temple and know more about the history of Kuta! It would be an incredible experience for everyone!
