Gunung Kawi

Gunung Kawi is an 11th-century royal memorial site at Tampaksiring in central Bali, on both banks of the Pakerisan river. Ten shrine facades, each about 7 m high, are carved into niches in the cliff face, with monks' cells cut into the rock nearby. They are thought to honour King Anak Wungsu and members of his family.
