Gunung Kawi - Temple set in a Ravine, Indonesia




Carved into the face of rock cliff, overlooking the sacred river of  Pakerisan and set in a breathtaking landscape on the island of Bali, there is a complex of 10 shrines, up to 7 meters high. Legends tell, that these shrines are dedicated to King Udayana of Bali and his favourite queens and concubines. 
The complex, which dates back to the 11th century, stayed forgotten and hidden in its green valley until 1920.

Thank you very much Fenny Shi for this beautiful postcard !!!!
