Gunung Kawi is an 11th-century temple and funerary complex in Tampaksiring north east of Ubud in Bali, Indonesia. That is spread across either side of the Pakerisan river. It comprises 10 rock-cut candi(shrines) that are carved into some 7-metre-high (23 ft) sheltered nichesof the sheer cliff face. These funeral monuments are thought to be dedicated toKing Anak Wungsu of the Udayana dynasty and his favourite queens. On the eastside there are five temples that are dedicated, according to one theory, toKing Udayana, his queen Mahendradatta, and their sons Airlanga, Anak Wungsu,and Marakata. The temples on the west side are dedicated, according to the sametheory, to the king's minor queens or concubines. On the north shrine (eastside) a legible inscription reads: "Haji Lumahing Jalu," meaning"the king made a temple here." |
