HISTORY:
Sakenan Temple is built in the 13th century by a holy priest ‘Dang Hyang Dwijendra’ on a small island called Serangan Island near Benoa Harbour and Nusa Dua.
This temple is divided into two parts. Inside the first part, there is a shrine of Cri Cedana or Dewi Sri, the goddess of prosperity and welfare. In the second part of Sakenan Temple, there are shrines for the Prasanak, the relatives of Dewi Sri who come to visit the temple on its anniversary day.
On the holy day of Manis Kuningan, Sakenan Temple commemorates the anniversary of its founder Mpu Kuturan. The festival is held in two days which begins on the last day of Kuningan Wuku and ends on the first day of Langkir Wuku. |
