This 17th-century restored complex houses the Hall of Justice, where the King of Klungkung meted out punishments. The Taman Gili or Garden Pavilion, a former guard’s house lies on the premises. Exquisite painted ceilings in wayang style cover these pavilions. The Hall of Justice sports gruesome paintings highlighting what happened to sinners. Above these panels--the story of Bima Swarga, who goes to hell to search and redeem his parents’ souls. Taman Gili’s panels show a wedding, the story of Sutasoma slaying a dragon and pictographs of horoscopes.
