Abstract

The temple is a sacred building for Hindus in performing their daily worship. The application of the concept of semiotics in temple buildings has actually been applied by designers before, this is because the ethical system is a science that studies predictions, or is something that is used as a meaning in worship. The purpose of this study is to identify and examine the meaning of a temple building that Hindus can respond to in the building and how the role of a sign is based on the semiotics of index symbols and icons at Pura Agung Mandala Giri. The method used in this research is descriptive qualitative by conducting detailed observations and surveys of the Pura Agung Mandala Giri building, and supported by interviews and similar research literature studies. The results of this study provide answers about symbols, indexes and icons that play an important role in semiotics in the Pura Agung Mandala Giri building as a building that applies the very deep principles of Architectural Semiotics.
