History Of the Goa Gajah Temple

Furthermore, the Word Goa Gajah is derived from “Lwa Gajah,” a Buddhist monastery on the river’s edge. In the Negarakertagama manuscript, written by Mpu Prapanca in 1.365 C, the word “Lwa Gajah” was stated.

Visitors must step down the stairs from the parking area to locate the Goa Gajah temple. Green and shady trees surround the temple, creating beautiful scenery and a cold, air environment. According to the employee who works there, the trees are hundreds of years old. The whole area of Goa Gajah is seen from the stairs.

When you arrive, you can hear the sound of water gently falling from the stone statue. The stones are from the remnants of the collapsed building due to an earthquake found near the shower, and Goa Gajah Ubud is not far from that shower.

The temple entrance gate is from the cave’s mouth and can only be passed through by one person. The inner side of the cave has a T-shaped form and has a space 2 meters in height and 2 meters wide. Hidden caves and niches are predicted as meditation places on the left and right sides. However, visitors can sit or lie down over there. Also, there is a Ganesha statue on the west alley, and in the east lane, you can see three holy phalluses.

Moreover, there is a holy water figure around the cave with male and female fairies holding holy water, some statues symbolising the seven rivers in India.
