Small hidden temple by the river side
- Jl. Kumbakarna (next to Tukad Badung River)
- During daytime
Tranquillity in the city
Find this small serene shrine down by the Tukad Badung River. In the old days the locals avoided what was regarded as a spooky place - reportedly even a ghost ship was spotted floating down the river - but when one day they found a water spring with crystal clear water, people built this shrine in appreciation.
Three elements of spirituality
This is a very spiritual and quiet place, perfect for a moment of rest and contemplation on your walk. It has the right spiritual elements:
- Water is a key feature in the purification for Hindu ceremonies: used to cleanse body and mind.
- Big banyan tree is believed to be a place where the Balinese spirit lives and;
- Bamboo is a cooling place for restless souls and demons.
