Gunung Kawi Royal Monuments, Bali

Gunung Kawi Royal Monuments is a memorial shrine complex near Tampaksiring. It is located in a valley bordering the Pakrisan River. The royal monuments refer to shrines carved into niches in the natural rock wall of the valley. There are some nine such monuments.

The Gunung Kawi Royal Monuments are associated with the 11th century king Anak Wungsu and his wives. In addition to the main shrines, there are some more, called the Second Cloisters, to the south, and Third Cloisters, to the east bank. These have been attributed to the queens of Anak Wungsu, or perhaps his descendents. Across some ricefields is the farthest tomb, called the Tenth Tomb.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
