Jalendu Temple is a location within Kyrat in Far Cry 4. It's in the middle of the lake surrounded by Jalendu Falls, Tarun Matara's Sleep, Garma Palana Spring. The lake is also connected to the river at King's Bridge, When Pagan Min decided to condemn the artifacts, he stored them at Jalendu. Mohan Ghale took the artifacts and ordered Darpan to split them and keep them away.
If the player selects Amita as the leader of the Golden Path, the temple will be destroyed, not only to liberate Kyrat from its conservative past but also to prevent Bhadra from becoming the next Tarun Matara, as the temple is where the ceremony takes place.
At the end of the game, if Sabal is selected as the leader of the Golden path instead, he will be featured in a secret scene at Jalendu Temple, where he begins to brutally execute all who followed Amita and Pagan in front of Bhadra, who has been selected as the next Tarun Matara, and according to Sabal, she must learn her duties.
In the DLC Escape From Durgesh Prison, there is a mission Eye for an Eye, where Ajay must kill some of Yuma's soldiers with a knife. When completed, a Buzzer spawns here.
In the Far Cry 6 DLC Pagan: Control, it is one of the three places where Pagan has to retrieve a piece of his mask in order to escape from his own mind. According to Pagan Min memories, the temple used to be filled with grandiose gold decorations before 1988. Upon realizing that Tarun Matara tradition further worsened the abusive culture of Kyrat toward underage girls, which already happened to Ishwari Ghale, Pagan Min barged in with an AK and vandalized the temple to seize gold.
Even after the story, the temple remains a great place to visit as a multitude of flowers are found here for syringes. They respawn often, and are a cheap alternative to buying the Garden upgrade for the Ghale Homestead, however that garden offers purple and white flowers, while this one does not. There are a few blue flowers in the water surrounding the island, wheras most of the plants on the island are green. A few yellow and red ones also spawn. In addition, a few loot chests can be found in the basement, and there are a few stationary turrets located around the island. Enemy and friendly patrol boats can both spawn on the lake at random.
