According to sources, Pura Telaga Sawang is a place for purification before praying at the Lempuyang Madya temple.
The temple features a pelinggih with two shrines, one of which is Menjangan Seluang, symbolizing dedication to Hyang Pancha Pandita (the five Mpu priests), namely Betara Empu Gnidaya, Mpu Kuturan, Mpu Semeru, Mpu Gana, and Mpu Brada.
