clear why this site exists for what purpose. It is said to be a place where monks meditate and
practice.
Even though Goa Gajah translates to ‘Elephant Cave’, you won’t find any pachyderms here.
Various theories suggest the origin of the name. One is based on the Petanu River being
originally called ‘Lwa Gajah’ before it came to be called Petanu River. Other sources state that
the ‘Gajah’ or elephant aspect came in from the stone figure inside the cave which depicted the
Hindu god Ganesh, who is characterised bearing an elephant’s head.

some tourists from Europe and U.S.A regularly come to Bali, for more than 5 times since 1960s
and every times they come they always repeat to see this tour package. It might be the real
spirit of Balinese nature and culture are mixed here which can give various inspirations,
probably from business of small handicrafts until 5 stars hotels or restaurants for those who saw
this as an opportunity. This has been proved by the tremendous development of tourism
facilities in Bali from 1980s to 1995. The writer believe very much that what is the value of thistrip has been triggering other area of Bali to be known in tourism industry. Below is described
shortly how these 3 areas had been attracting people from immemorial times.

down the south coast of the Bali Island from the western to the eastern regions. In the journey
is located in Pecatu Village, Kuta Sub-district, Badung District, Bali. The temple is 30 kilometers
to the south of Denpasar. Uluwatu Temple, also called Luwur Temple, is one of the six Sad
Kahyangan Temples, the main spiritual pillars in Bali Island.
History of Uluwatu Temple
There are two different opinions concerning the history of Uluwatu Temple.
● First Opinions, Some people believe that the temple was built by Empu Kuturan in 9th
AD, during Marakata’s reign.
● Second Opinions, Other people claim that the temple was built by Dang Hyang Nirartha,
a pedanda (Hindu monk) from Daha Kingdom (Kediri) in East Java. Dang Hyang
Nirartha came to Bali in 1546 AD, during the reign of Dalem Waturenggong. The monk
built Uluwatu Temple on Pecatu Hill. After completing a spiritual journey around Bali, the
monk went back to Uluwatu Temple and died there. He moksa (died and his body
vanished), leaving the Marcapada (worldly life) and entering Swargaloka (heaven).
The Piodalan or ceremony commemorating the temple’s anniversary is held on Anggara Kasih
day, in wuku Medangsia in Caka calendar. Usually the ceremony lasts for three days thronged
by of thousands of Hindus.
Uluwatu Temple sits on a 70-meter-high cliff protruding above Indonesian Ocean. Because of its
unique location, visitors to the temple have to take a long stone stairway to reach it. The temple
heads east, unlike other Balinese temples which face west or south. There are hundreds of monkeys
roaming along the path outside the temple. Although the monkeys look tame, visitors find them a
nuisance as they often grab food off a visitor’s hand and snatch visitors’ belongings. There are two
doors at the end of the path, the north door and the south one, through which visitors enter the
temple complex.
The entrance doors take the shape of stone Bentar gates. Standing across from each gate,
there are two statues of elephant-headed men. The front part of the gate is decorated with fine
relief sculpture picturing leaves and flowery patterns. Behind the gate, there are stone steps that
lead to the inner court. Along the steps, trees are grown to provide shade.
A small forest lies at the front and hundreds of monkeys dwell here. They are believed to guard the
temple from bad influences. The serpentine pathway to the temple is fortified by concrete walls on
the cliff side. It takes about an hour to get from one end to another as there are several fenced points
along the way to stop. The views from the bottom of the water surging up against rocks and the
ocean horizon are remarkable. The Balinese Hindus believe that the three divine powers of Brahma,
Vishnu, and Siva become one here. That belief results in making Uluwatu Temple a place of worship
of Siva Rudra, the Balinese Hindu deity of all elements and aspects of life in the universe. UluwatuTemple is also dedicated to protect Bali from evil sea spirits.Every six months according to the Balinese 210-day Pawukon cycle, big temple anniversary
celebrations are held at the temple. The temple's keeper, the royal family of Jro Kuta from
Denpasar, are patrons for the event. Believers regard it as a manifestation of the divine power
that protects Uluwatu Temple. Public facilities are available, but not in the temple area. Unlike
some other tourist destinations in Bali, Pura Uluwatu area has limited amounts of hassling
vendors.
The inner court is an open space paved with stone floor. There is a wooden building near the north
gate. To the west, across from the entrance path, there is a Paduraksa Gate that opens the path into
the next inner court. Unlike the ones found outside, this stone gate is completed with roof. The door
is an arch framed with an arrangement of stones.There is a sculpture of a giant head above the
frame. The top of the gate looks like a crown and it is decorated with relief sculpture. The gaps
between the gate and the walls are filled with a surface full of relief sculpture. There is a small
rectangular court to the south that stretches out above the sea. There is a wooden construction at
the end of the court that seems to be a place where people can sit and watch the ocean. Uluwatu
Temple has undergone several restorations. In 1999, a lightning struck the temple and caused fire.
Visitors must wear a sarong and a sash, as well as appropriate clothes common for temple
visits. They can be hired here. The best time to visit is just before sunset. Kecak and Fire Dance
Performance is performed everyday at the adjacent cliff-top stage at 18:00 to 19:00. Visitors are
charged a nominal fee. What makes it the most favourite venue to watch a Kecak dance is the
sunset background of the performance. There's no public transportation to get here and going
back in to town will be difficult without any prearranged ride or taxi. we have the tour program for

is built around the sacred spring at Tampak Siring. For more than a thousand years, Balinese
worshipers have been drawn to Tirta Empul Temple whose sacred spring is said to have been
created by Indra and to have curative properties. The tradition continues almost unchanged at
the temple today.Over 1000 years old, the temple and its two bathing places have been used by
the people for good health and prosperity because of the spring water's curative powers.
History Of Tirta Empul Temple :
Tirta Empul Temple It is a myth described on a manuscript called Usana Bali says that a
Balinese arrogant king named Maya Denawa did not believe in god, and objected the people to
worship god. Later the punishment for the king came. The warior of Bhatara Indra arrived to
attack Maya Denawa and put him away from the throne. But Maya Denawa used chemical
weapons causing all the warriors of Bhatara Indra were poisoned to dead. Seeing this Bhatara
Indra than planted his pole to the earth, and sprang water. This water was used to spray the
dead warriors, and they alive back. So this water source until now is believed to be the source
of life and prosperity. It is especially correct if we associate this water spring with the irrigation
system around the area, as it gives hundreds of hectares of rice field from Tampaksiring untilPejeng areas.The inscription mentions the construction of Tirta Empul Temple in 960 AD, when the king
Chandrabhaya Singha Warmadewa ordered this which is already 1042 years ago. It seems that
this place was not interesting for ancient king but on 1954 the first Indonesian president
Soekarno had built his presidential villas just at the west side of the temple. Originally a
residence for Dutch officials, it was later used by former President Soekarno during his frequent
trips to Bali. This villa has brought also the name of Tampaksiring become known world widely.
The present temple as a common temple of Bali, the layout is divided into 3 courtyards. At the
middle courtyard is constructed and first courtyards were constructed:
● Pool with 13 fountains, used as holy water for cremation or dead ceremony,
● Pool with 8 fountains, used as water for symbolic cleaning ( spiritual purification ), when
a person is sick it is believed he is infected by immaterial dirt.
● Pool with 5 fountains for holy water used people from outside come to pray.
At the first courtyard is also a pool for public bathing place. Total number of shrines at Tirta
Empul Temple are 30 nits currently, after later addition by local people who have the
responsibility for the temple. The ceremony is performed every 210 days, and fixed date can be
read in Balinese calendar.
There is an old stone sculpture being preserved at the last courtyard of the Tirta Empul Temple
in the form of buffalo. The condition of the carving is badly damage, so it can not be observed in
detail to fix the type. Buffalo in the pantheon of Hindu is considered as the mount of god Shiwa
and this animal is called ” Nandi
The name "Tirta Empul" signifies a crystal clear stream which is used as the holy water for
various religious ceremony. Visitors are allowed only up to the main courtyard. From here, one
could enjoy the twin shrines and split gate, common in most temples in Bali. Inside the inner
sanctum, there are a number of bathing pools for the Hindus.
The Tirta Empul Temple includes the traditional Balinese split gate along with shrines to Shiva,
Vishnu, Braham, Mt. Batur, and Indra. There is also a large open pavilion in the main courtyard,
useful for relaxing in the shade.
But the main attraction at Tirta Empul Temple is a long rectangular pool carved of stone, filled
with koi and fed by the sacred spring via 12 fountains. Worshippers first make an offering at the
temple, then climb into the main pool to bathe and pray. Many collect the holy water in bottles to
take home. Nearby there are two smaller pools fed by the spring.
Tirta Empul Temple is located in the village of Tampak Siring, accessible by public
transportation from Ubud. The souvenir stands outside the temple specialize in the local craft,
carved bone jewelry.
