Petitenget : Temple of the "Secret Box"
In Bali near Seminyak and located almost right on the beach is the temple of Petitenget or Temple of the "Secret Box". Legend has it that a holy man from Java came to Bali to teach. He had brought a box with him. When he returned to Java, he left his box behind. The balinese people, in awe of the holy man and out of respect for his belongings, dared not touch nor open the box and built this temple around it.
