About Pura Candidasa

The temple overlooks a placid freshwater lagoon famous for its blooming lotus flowers, a tranquil counterpoint to the sea just across the road. Dedicated in part to Hariti, the temple is a working Balinese Hindu shrine and one of the most recognisable landmarks in Candidasa. It makes an easy stop while exploring the quieter beaches and dive sites of Bali’s east coast around Amlapura.
