Pura Taman Saraswati is a Balinese Hindu temple in the centre of Ubud, dedicated to Saraswati, the goddess of learning and the arts. It was built in 1951–1952 to a design by the sculptor I Gusti Nyoman Lempad for the prince of Ubud. A path lined with stone figures crosses its lotus pond to three red-brick gateways.
Pura Taman Ayun is a royal temple in Mengwi, about 10 km south-west of Ubud. King Gusti Agung Putu of Mengwi built it in 1634 as a temple for his ancestors. A wide moat surrounds three courtyards; the inner one, reserved for worshippers, holds tiered meru shrines. Since 2012 it is part of Bali's Subak World Heritage Site.
Tirta Empul is a Hindu water temple at Tampaksiring, about 12 km north of Ubud, founded around a spring in 962 during the Warmadewa dynasty and dedicated to Vishnu. The spring feeds the Pakerisan River and fills stone pools lined with spouts, where Balinese Hindus bathe in the melukat purification ritual.
Pura Kehen is the former royal temple of the Bangli kingdom, at the foot of a wooded hill about 2 km north of Bangli town and some 13 km north-east of Ubud. Copper inscriptions from the 9th to 13th centuries name it. Stairs lined with Ramayana figures climb terraces to the outer courtyard, where a banyan tree at least 400 years old stands.
