At the village of Sangsit, 6 km (4 mi.) north-east of Singaraja, is the lavishly decorated Pura Beji, a temple dedicated to the fertility and rice goddess Dewi Sri which belongs to a rice-farmers' co-operative (subak). The temple shows Chinese as well as Hindu features. The tripartite split gate leading into the inner courtyard is exceptionally
richly ornamented; on its outer surface are several grimacing demons framed in finely carved lotus blossoms. Beyond the gate is an aling-aling (protective wall to keep out demons) flanked by two snakes. The profusion of carved ornament characteristic of northern Bali continues in the inner courtyard. Above the temple rears the gedong of the goddess Dewi Sri.
On leaving the temple note the three figures from the "Ramayana" on each side.
Sangsit's other temple, the Pura Dalem, is relatively plain but is notable for its finely carved reliefs.
