Goa Gajah

Goa Gajah, the Elephant Cave, is a rock-cut sanctuary at Bedulu, south-east of Ubud, probably from the 11th century. Its entrance is carved as a demonic face; inside are a Ganesha figure and lingam-yoni symbols of Shiva, while a bathing pool, excavated in 1954, has statues of women holding water vessels. Buddhist carvings lie by the river below.
