Gunung Kawi temple standing next to the Pakrisan River, a tributary of the sacred from the mountains to the north. There are ten great niche with a carved stone temple or shrine, said to be the tombs of the kings and their consorts. Gunung Kawi is a tomb that has the best condition to eat fifteen meals that have been found in Bali. With a design strongly influenced by Indian culture, Hindu monument was made in the late 11 th century, similar to those found in Central Java and East Java. But anyway, which is found in Balinese temple is very unique, because the temple is carved in a mountain.
Need to take a little time to see the carving and try to catch the hidden meaning behind it. At the top of each carving is a large three-tiered roof, decorated with symbols of fertility linggam-yoni.
For the Hindu community in Bali there is confidence that the water, which flows over the temple was filled with pure nature. Because beliefs and a great location adjacent to the river, the complex is an essential source for holy water to be used in Hindu ceremonies in Bali. When you walk around, you'll see the old water pipes and pipes with pure flowing water. It's all safe to drink straight from the source.
The main Hindu temple is at the center of the complex, but behind you can see the Buddhist monastery. It was quiet and powerful spiritual energy makes Gunung Kawi is a very special place to visit. Gunung Kawi temple, carved in a mountain.
