Dwarapala Statue

💡 Bedogol is the Balinese name for the gate guardian statue - usually called Dwarapala.

Dwarapalas (Bedogol) ward off evil from local sacred places and houses.

Fearsome stone giants Dwarapalas (or Dwarapalakas) are semi-divine mythological creatures that guard temples across Bali.

They could be found at various access points within a temple, including the main entrance and entrances to the sanctum sanctorum.

Formerly, the statues were placed only in Pura (temples) and Puri (Royal homes), but nowadays, they can be found in most houses in Bali. The statues are usually placed on the left and right sides of the gate - they are an essential element of Balinese exteriors.

They mark homes with stark personalitie, charm, beauty, or eccentric figures. People are free to choose any character to be used as a bedogol.

The guardian statues are typically a pair of characters that complement each other, such as young and old brothers. Most Balinese use the male-female Dwarapala to guard their homes.

Sometimes they look alike, but they are not identical. Often the statues are like a mirror image rather than exact replicas. For example, if one figure gestures to the left, the other would make it to the right.

Dwarapalas are mentioned in sacred Hindu texts (Agni Purana, for example), which are more than 1000 years old, so this is an essential cultural element of Bali.

💡 The Bedogol’s purpose is to organize 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.
