The temple is dedicated to Sang Hyang Widhi Wasa, the Supreme God in Balinese Hindu belief, and serves as a central place of worship for Hindus from all communities and regions in Bali.
Unlike many ancient village temples, Jagatnatha Temple was built in the mid-20th century to meet the spiritual needs of Denpasar’s growing urban population. Construction began in 1963 and was completed in 1968, following traditional Balinese architectural principles. Since its inauguration, the temple has become the primary public temple of the city.
Architecturally, Jagatnatha Temple is best known for its towering Padmasana shrine made of white coral stone, symbolizing purity and the cosmic throne of the Supreme God. The temple complex also features ceremonial courtyards, stone statues, and open prayer areas that are actively used for daily offerings and major religious rituals.
Today, Jagatnatha Temple remains an active spiritual and cultural landmark in Denpasar. Major Hindu festivals such as Galungan, Kuningan, Saraswati, and Purnama are regularly celebrated here and attract thousands of devotees. With its central location, strong spiritual importance, and iconic architecture, Jagatnatha Temple stands as the heart of urban Hindu worship in Bali.
