Vihara Bahtera Bhakti is a Chinese-Buddhist temple located in the Ancol, Jakarta, Indonesia. It is dedicated to Da Bo Gong, a deity of land and wealth, and his wife. Established ca. 1650, it is one of the oldest Buddhist temple in Jakarta.

Description

The temple is also known as Anxu Da-bo-gong Miao, "a place of worshipping Da Bo Gong". It is dedicated to Da Bo Gong (Hokkien Toa Pe Kong), a deity of land and wealth, and his wife Bo Pog. Da Bo Gong is identical with Fu-de zheng-shen, "God of the Earth and Riches" worshipped in the Jin De Yuan temple in Glodok.[1]

The temple is also dedicated to the Muslim cook of Cheng Ho, Sampo Soei Soe.[2]

The Hokkien name for Da Bo Gong, Toa Pe Kong gives name to an Indonesian term for statues of Chinese deities, the topekong.[1]

History

The temple was established ca. 1650 under the name Taipekong or Da Bo Gong Temple on the area of Slingerland, to the east side of Ancol River.[2] As a Chinese temple near Ancol River, it is also known as Klenteng Ancol.

Architecture

The architecture of the temple is Chinese-Buddhist architecture with a style that is specifically associated with a holy Muslim tomb because it is a shrine for a Muslim.[2]
