one of the many Hindu temples

Gua Gajah
Ubud, Bali
Indonesia

Check out Announcement 1: Women during menstruation are strictly forbidden to enter the temple.

Actually, pets are not allowed as well.
That is why we took a photo right in front of the entrance to the temple with Miko because he is not allowed in.

Ancient belief that when you was your face with the water flowing out from this statue of some goddesses?, you will look younger?
All I was thinking then was that, I don't think I want to risk my face with some water that will have me go back to the dermatologist asking for more acne cream.
To sum up: I gave that a pass.

These colourful sarongs worn by us (tourists) are actually to cover our legs as a sign of respect in this place which is considered sacred by the Balinese.
We thought they looked cool and colourful instead!

Remains of a temple which once stood in this area.

Adrian thought these stones were used for idol worship like on Mount Kinabalu!
