Abstract

The research method used is the descriptive analysis, by presenting data about the philosophical meaning of ornaments, which associated with the tendency of the human body. In this case, the ornaments in Utama Mandala help Hindus interpret space based on the concept of space and time. The upper direction shows the future, the downward direction shows the past, the front shows sacred. The back shows profane, and so on. The placement of ornaments in each building in the utama mandala has been arranged according to the prevailing standard, so that the philosophical meaning of the ornament can be read as a single ornament, or read as a whole. The conclusion obtained in this study is the placement of ornaments in the utama mandala, helping the people to interpret Utama Mandala as a sacred area, where there are many contents of the teachings of Hinduism about the nature of life. With this research, it is known that the role of ornaments in an architecture is not only as a complementary element, but as an element that can form interiority
