PURA TAMAN AYUN
The Royal Temple of Mengwi is one of the most important temples in
Bali. Built in 1634 by a King of the Mengwi dynasty, this impressive
complex stands on an island in a river, its inner temple surrounded by a
moat. Its Balinese name Pura Taman Ayun literally means ‘Garden Temple
in the Water’.
Part of a network of directional temples that
protect Bali from evil spirits, Pura Taman Ayun was built as a series of
garden terraces with courtyards on different levels. The entire complex
was designed to symbolize the mythological home of the gods, Mount
Meru, floating in the sea of eternity.
An eleven-tiered meru (at
the far end, in the right-hand corner of the complex) is dedicated to
the rice goddess Dewi Sri. The third bale on the left is believed to be
the abode of several different gods.
Pura Taman Ayun was enlarged in 1937, making some of its structures the most modern temple architecture in Bail.
