Goa Gajah Temple in Bali

26 km from Denpasar, in the Bedulu Village there is ruin of Balinese Palace, completed with huge cave hermiting. This cave is used to be a place to meditate for Hindu and Buddhist monks in the 11 st century.The Frightening demon head was carved at the front of the cave, while inside there is a God statue with elephant head known as “Ganesha” at the end of the west of the cave. At the opposite there is a Trilingga statue . The caved is ‘T’ shaped. You can also see there are 2 bathing places at the cave’s yard with six nymph statues and each one is holding water fountain on its umbilicus. That is as a symbol of six holy rivers in India
