Balinese Dwarapala Statue of Old Lady

Bedogol is the Balinese name for the gate guardian statue - usually called Dwarapala. Because Dwarapala is known in Buddhist and Hindu culture, it can be found not only in Indonesia but also in Thailand, Malaysia and even Japan. This one was located in Ubud, Bali. The bedogol’s purpose is to organise possibly unbalanced elements from the outside world, to make the positive and negative neutral before they enter the home. So, you just glance at our Dwarapala statues and walk through the gate assured of a stable and peaceful atmosphere.
