Pura Taman Saraswati, Ubud

Pura Taman Saraswati, Ubud


Pura Taman Saraswati is a Balinese temple in Ubud. It was established by Bali's most famous artist, I Gusti Nyoman Lempad, under the oder of Ubud's prince, to honor the Hindu deity Saraswati, the goddess of learning, literature, and the arts.

Pura Taman Saraswati is set within a water garden with a lotus pond as its center of attraction. The artist himself has decorated the temple with many of his own carvings. Among the sights at the temple is a three-meter-tall statue of the demon Jero Gede Mecaling.

The padmasana shrine, as usual, is located on the northeast of the temple complex. It is the throne of the Balinese supreme god.

Pura Taman Saraswati is usually closed to the public, but can be accessed from the adjacent Café Lotus.

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.
