Uluwatu Temple - Bali

2014/05/02

Uluwatu Temple is one of the most famous tourist spots in Bali. Located by the sea, at the top of a beautiful cliff, Uluwatu makes a famous sun set watching place.

This temple is dedicated to the goddess Rudra. The actual year, the temple was founded is yet to know. Below is the main point of the temple where normal people cannot enter. It is standing at the top of a rocky part protruding to the Indian Ocean.

The temple is standing above 70 meters above a roaring sea. Amazingly it seems the cliff had stood tall against the crashing wave without eroding. It makes a beautiful sight when the sun sets shading everything ain yellowish red.

Below are some magnificent scenes around the Uluwatu temple. The cyan colored sea and white of the breaking waves add to the beauty. The waves rise nearly 2 meters well above the sea level. It is said that only very professional surfers would challenge the waves crashing below.

Special thanks to my travelling companion Ayanthi for the beautiful time spent in Bali.
