Detail Trip

As for history, it can be said that Goa Gajah temple was built in the period 10-11 AD, which at that time was the dynasty of the Warmadewa kingdom, while the name Goa Gajah refers to the statue of Ganesha found engraved on the cave wall. In 1923 the elephant cave site was discovered by L.C Heyting who at the time of discovery, he found Archa Ganesha, a statue of Tri Langga and also a statue of Hariti. Furthermore, a follow-up study was carried out by Dr.W.F. Stutterhiem in 1925 and also in 1950 carried out further research by the Indonesian side, namely from the Indonesian archaeological site in 1954 to 1979 which resulted in the discovery of a small pond which is now in front of the mouth of Goa with six statues of women and their showers.
The water flowing from the shower is believed by visitors who come there to make their age younger. A very shocking discovery of history, where from this discovery it can be seen that we are familiar with the existence of beliefs in ancient times, while some statues such as Ganesha figures are god figures found in Hinduism long time ago, and the spread of religion had occurred at that time.
The Elephant Cave Temple of Goa Gajah dates as far back as the 11th century. Built on a hillside where two streams met to form a river junction, the site was deemed sacred and the temple was built for prayer and enclosed meditation. The entrance to the elephant cave depicts a giant menacing face whose wide open mouth forms the doorway. While there are various animal and forest motifs depicted by carvings on the outer rock face, the giant face of the doorway is considered to be that of an elephant.

As for the history of Penglipuran village, based on circulating sources, a long time ago in the Bangli kingdom, when there was a war and the King of Bangli assigned the Bayung Gede villagers to join the war and other activities in the kingdom, because the location of the Bayung traditional village was far away, then the King of Bangli gave land to the village of Bayung Gede which is where Penglipuran Village is now, so whenever needed, the residents of the village of Bayung Gede could quickly face the king. Originally mentioned in the inscription, that the Penglipuran Traditional Village was called "Kubu Bayung" which means Pondok Bayung Gede. Over time, the villagers built a village in this neighborhood with Kahyangan Tiga (three temples namely Puseh Temple, Dalem Temple and Desa/Balai Agung Temple) and another temple (Dang Khayangan) was built similar to or similar to the one in Bayung Gede Village by the community.
Penglipuran village comes from the acronym word pengling and pura which means remembering sacred places (ancestors). Initially, the people of this village came from Bayung Gede Village, Kintamani, who permanently migrated for some reason to Kubu Bayung village, which is now Penglipuran village. For village spatial planning, each house has a gate called Angkul-angkul. All houses in this village are uniform but not the same. Almost similar. As for the size, it's exactly the same.
Kerta Gosa park attractions are sometimes written as Kertha Gosa, which used to be part of the Klungkung royal building complex. The Klungkung royal complex was built in 1686 by the first power holder, Ida I Dewa Agung Jambe. But in 1908, almost all the buildings of the Klungkung kingdom were destroyed due to the Dutch colonial invasion. Bale Kertha Gosa was not immediately built in 1686 along with the construction of the Klungkung kingdom. However, Bale Kertha Gosa was built at the end of the 18th century, and its location is at the northeast end of the Klungkung kingdom area. In ancient times, the function of Bale Kertha Gosa was to discuss the situation of security, justice and prosperity of the Balinese kingdom, and in ancient times it was also functioned as a court in Bali.
The main thing that attracts the Kerta Gosa park is the architecture of the building that characterizes the Balinese architecture of the 17th century. The beauty of the architecture is especially seen in the Bale Kambang building, which is surrounded by a pond called Taman Gili. Because there is a pond surrounding Bale Kambang, to be able to enter the Bale Kambang building area, visitors will pass a bridge made of bricks. The uniqueness of the Bale Kambang and Bale Kertha Gosa buildings, is in the roof of the building. On the ceiling of the roof of the building there is a Wayang painting that depicts the case being tried, as well as the type of punishment that will be received, if you make a mistake.
