Reliefs at the Desa lan Puseh Temple in Sudaji Village, North Bali, image of Bali tourism during the Dutch colonial period

The relief artwork plastered on the walls of the "Desa lan Puseh" Temple in Sudaji Village was made around the 1920s when Bali was entirely under Dutch colonial rule. The reliefs made are different from the traditional Balinese art standards. Relief art no longer uses patterns in wayang art. The reliefs are made more realistic both in terms of style and theme. As a work of art, of course, there is a message and a specific purpose and purpose made from the relief work. Through iconographic analysis, including the form of gestures and attributes worn on the figures of each relief scene connected in the context of the socio-cultural history of the Balinese people, this study shows that Dutch intervention in traditional arts for specific purposes has an influential role. Relief art is constructed to form an image of Bali as a "harmonious" and "cultured" tourist destination.
