The Pura Kebo Edan is, the Temple of the Crazy Water-Buffalo. In the center of the temple can be seen a colossal figure 3.60 m (12 ft) high, thought to represent the giant Bhairava, standing on a figure who is probably Yama, god of the dead. To left and right are a bull and a giant demon.
On the bales are numerous figures and fragments, many of them with terrifyingly grimacing faces. It is believed that orgiastic Tantric ceremonies were celebrated in this temple, in the course of which the participants are said to have drunk human blood.
