Giri Putri Cave Temple

As the name suggests, Goa Giri Putri has an entrance in the form of a cave. Uniquely, although the cave mouth looks small, but people or Hindus who can always enter the mouth of the cave. After entering the cave, a sense of amazement will come to mind. How not, even though the cave hole is very small, but once inside the cave, the room is very large. It can even accommodate thousands of worshipers. The reason is, this cave has a height of up to 10 meters with a length of about 310 meters. The atmosphere is quiet and sacred. The strains of the Holy Man clapper while serving the devotees seem to fill the cave. Incense smoke adds to the sacredness and spiritual vibrations. Devotees can also perform prayers in stages.

Puncak Mundi Temple

The existence of temples on Nusa Penida Island was inspired by the story of the meeting between Batara Guru and Dewi Uma. From that meeting, a son was born who was named Batara Kumara. However, the birth of Batara Kumara also turned out to be the beginning of a split between Batara Guru and Dewi Uma. The problem is, Batara Kumara is more cared for by his father, and only occasionally approaches his mother when he wants to be breastfed.
