Gunung Kawi is an 11th century temple complex in Tampaksiring north east of Ubud in Bali, Indonesia.[1] It is located on the river Pakrisan.
The complex comprises 10 rock-cut candi (shrines) carved into the cliff face. They stand in 7m-high (23 ft-high) sheltered niches cut into the sheer cliff face. These monuments are thought to be dedicated to King Anak Wungsu of the Udayana dynasty and his favourite queens.
