Uluwatu
On the south coast of Bali is a whole series of sea temples-Tanah Lot, Pura Sekenan, Pura Rambut Siwi, Pura Petitenget, and Pura Uluwatu. All pay homage to the guardian spirits of the sea, but none is more spectacular than Uluwatu.
For years entrance was forbidden to anyone but the prince of Badung. He visited right up until his death at the hands of the Dutch in the puputan of 1906. Administered now by a royal family in Denpasar, Uluwatu actually belongs to the Balinese people, but is particularly sacred to fishermen, who come here to pray to the sea goddess Dewi Laut. Legend has it the temple is actually a ship tumed to stone. The full name of the temple is Pura Luhur Uluwatu, which roughly translates as "The Temple Above the Stone," an accurate description as this temple perches on a cliff overhanging the Indian Ocean 90 meters below.
