Walked into this temple in Glodok not knowing what to expect and walked out completely speechless. π
Vihara Dharma Bhakti. Built in 1650. Older than Jakarta. Still going strong.
Inside there are twelve altars, incense coils burning for literal days, and smoke hanging in the air that makes everything feel like you accidentally stepped into another century. Then someone tells you there is a Catholic church right next door on the same ground and has been for hundreds of years and you just kind of stand there nodding slowly like okay Jakarta. Okay.
Genuinely one of the most unexpectedly moving places I have been to in this city.
Have you been here yet or did this just go straight to your list? π
