The first time I was to this temple that last year, when I
can be a task group of lecturers that filmmaking. Initially I did not believe
there is a temple as good as it was in the city of Bogor but once I got to the
temple I was surprised that the beautiful scenery around, even though the
weather was hot there but remains cool because the temple is located at the
foot of Mount Salak. To enter the temple, visitors are not being charged
officially but there is a box where visitors can put the money to the temple
guards.
Before entering into the temple, visitors are required to
wear a piece of yellow cloth, red, white, or black are tied around the waist
and can be returned at the end of the visit. In the past, the temple is very
open to the public until well into place of worship. However since two years
ago, visitors can only see and take pictures in the court and next to the
temple.
