God Photos: Pura Gunung Kawi Temple Wallpapers Gallery

Pura Gunung Kawi Temple Located about a mile south of Tampaksiring, Bali's "Valley of the Kings" is located in a ravine between ricefields. The Pakerisan river flows through this ravine, and the cliffs flanking the river feature shrines carved into the stone honoring kings and queens from the 11th century. The Balinese - big believers in the holiness of water - believe that the river sanctifies Pura Gunung Kawi.

The site isn't a temple per se, neither is it an actual tomb - the royalty honored here were likely cremated as per Balinese custom.
