Goa Lawah Temple Editorial Image

Pura Goa Lawah, one of the most picturesque temples in Bali, was built by Dang Hyang Nirartha, a Hindu priest from ancient Javanese times who also built many other important temples on the island during his pilgrimage. The cave temple, featuring worshipping shrines built around a cave opening, is home to thousands of bats and, if the local legend is true, a giant king snake wearing a crown. Pura Goa Lawah is located in the Pesinggahan village, bordering the Klungkung and Karangasem regencies. 4/15/2017
