Puri Agung Kesiman was formed based on the division of the territorial authority of I Gusti Ngurah Made Pemecutan (the King of Puri Denpasar I) to his two sons, I Gusti Ngurah Gede and I Gusti Gede Kesiman. Puri Agung Kesiman was established around the 19th century AD, founded by I Gusti Gede Kesiman, who ascended the throne in 1813 and ruled until November 20, 1865, as the chief of Kesiman. The total area of this puri site is approximately 12,192 m\u00b2, divided into four mandalas: Ancak Saji, which is the outermost courtyard (front), Sumengen\/Senetan, which is the place for conducting funeral ceremonies, Pemereman\/Dunungan, which is the residential area for the puri family members, and Pemrajan Agung, which serves as the sacred place of the puri.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

5. Kolam<\/strong><\/em><\/p>

The structure of the pond is located in the main courtyard (jeroan) of the Pemrajan Agung, following the wall of the penyengker of the pemrajan. This pond structure is very wide and deep, and it is estimated to date back to the same period as the prasada and the pelinggih meru, as archival photographs from the colonial era always depict this pond whenever the prasada and pelinggih meru are the subjects. It is believed to originate from the 14th to 15th centuries AD.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
