Aptly called the island of the Gods, Bali is adorned with some of the most venerated spiritual structures in all of Indonesia. A Predominantly Hindu region Bali boasts an array of sophisticated temples where typical Thai architecture merged with Hindu art and adornment can be enjoyed. One such place of worship is the Pura Taman Saraswati. Dedicated to Dewi Saraswati, the temple and its surroundings settings are picture perfect and emulate a sense of spiritual tranquility. Saraswati is one of the most venerated deities in the Hindu belief as she is the Goddess of literature, learning and art. Mirroring her role, the temple is artistic in design and is adorned with plenty of skillfully crafted sculptures and carvings. The water garden at the rear of the temple is blanketed with thousands of breathtaking lotus blossoms coloring the lake with speckles of pink.
The Padmasana shrine located on the inside of the temple is another major attraction which houses a number of structures with relevance to the legends of Hinduism. Among this one find giant masks, the bale Barong and statues of the goddess Sarswati and the devil Jero Gede Mecaling. Every week at night time dance performances are held at the temple which is an additional plus for visitors. During the day painters set up easel around the temple to catch on canvas the beauty of this location.
