Many historical artifacts of pre Hinduism remain hidden at the ancient temple of Kebo Edan, which translates as "Crazy Buffalo". This refers to the animals which guard the cave - two buffalo carvings. Located in West Gianyar Regency, the temple has attracted numerous travelers and foreign archeologists. It formerly functioned as a place of worship for the Bhairawa sect, the remains of which are still housed in the temple. The most spectacular is a huge sculpture of Bhairawa, symbolizing the God of death, and Siwa, who is shown dancing.

Located in Pejeng Village, near the famous Penataran Sasih Temple, Kebo Edan is thought to have been built in the 13th century after Kertanegara conquered the Kingdom of Bali in 1282 AD. King Kertanegara had previously governed the Kingdom of Singosari, and his Bhairawa sect followed him to Bali.

The Bhairawa Siwa statue was made as a symbol of the God Siwa, who is shown dancing over a dead body. Siwa's power is depicted with a huge body, strong muscles and curly hair. He is also wearing a mask. Standing an impressive 3.50 meters in height, the statue also shows decorative snakes wrapped around its wrists and ankles.
