The temples around Batubulan are noted for their fine stonework. Just 200m to the east of the busy main road, Pura Puseh Desa Batubulan is worth a visit for its perfectly balanced overall composition. Statues draw on ancient Hindu and Buddhist iconography and Balinese mythology; however, they are not old – many are copied from books on archaeology.
