Gunung Kawi Sebatu Temple in Bali 3

Gunung Kawi Sebatu Temple is a special find for visitors to Central Bali.

 

It is one of the least visited temple complexes on the island Bali, yet is one of the most beautiful. It is a quiet temple to which surroundings are enclosed by the forest.

 

Feelings are said to be healed in this temple that overflows in beautiful water and green. The sound where the spring water flows is very comfortable.

 

The temple was built in homage to the God of preserver (Vishnu), who rules over water, and here one finds a number of natural spring and waterspouts. The Balinese believe that water is one of the forces of life. The etymology of Gunung Kawi means a fabricated mountain. It lies west of Sebatu village, which is elevated and its name means slipping on a stone.
