 The convicts (as well as visitors today) were able to view the ceiling which depicted different punishments in the afterlife, the results of karma, while they were awaiting sentencing.The ceiling paintings of the Kerta Gosa are one of the outstanding examples of the Kamasan (or Wayang) style.The paintings were probably originally done in the middle of the nineteenth century, and renewed in 1918, 1933 and 1963, with individual panels repaired in the 1980s and 1990s.
