Goa Gajah Temple or also known as Elephant Cave Temple, is an ancient heritage site that is full of artistic and historical values. This cave is one of the most visited favorite tourist destinations in Bali. The existence of Goa Gajah is motivated by the meeting between two rivers, namely the Pangkung River and the Petanu River, which form a valley. Allegedly, the name “Goa Gajah” comes from “Lwa Gajah”, which means monastery or hermitage of Buddhist monks. The name Goa Gajah is recorded in the Negarakertagama Book compiled by Mpu Prapanca in 1365. This historical site bears witness to the acculturation of Buddhist and Hindu Shiva beliefs as seen from the various relics found in it. The existence of Goa Gajah attracts many tourists to explore the cultural heritage and spirituality contained therein.
Besakih Temple or also known as Penataran Agung Temple has been known since the 15th century as the central temple of Hinduism in Bali. The temple complex consists of 22 sacred buildings that line the ridge, making it the main place of worship for Hindus on the Island of the Gods. The existence of Besakih Temple reflects the essential Balinese philosophy of Tri Hita Karana. This philosophy emphasizes balance and harmony between humans and God, fellow humans, and humans and nature. The name Besakih itself comes from the Sanskrit word “Basuki”, which means “prosperity”. The largest temple in Bali, also known as the Mother Temple, can be explored by traveling around and witnessing various temples that are rich in high historical value during the Full Day Besakih Tour. The majesty and sacredness of this temple complex is a spiritual experience that will be hard to forget for visitors.
