Uluwatu Temple is our next visit, Uluwatu Temple (Balinese: Pura Luhur Uluwatu) is a Balinese Hindu sea temple (Pura Segara) located in Uluwatu, South Kuta, Badung. The temple is regarded as one of the sad kahyangan and is dedicated to Sang Hyang Widhi Wasa in his manifestation as Rudra. The temple (pura in Balinese) is built at the edge (ulu) of a 70-meter-high (230 ft) cliff or rock (watu) projecting into the sea. In folklore, this rock is said to be part of Dewi Danu’s petrified barque.
Though a small temple was claimed to have existed earlier, the structure was significantly expanded by a Javanese sage, Empu Kuturan in the 11th Century. Another sage from East Java, Dang Hyang Nirartha is credited for constructing the padmasana shrines and it is said that he attained moksha here, an event called ngeluhur (“to go up”) locally. This has resulted in the temple’s epithet Luhur. The temple is inhabited by monkeys (Macaca fascicularis), who are notorious for snatching visitors’ belongings, such as flip-flops, cameras, and sunglasses. They can usually be persuaded into ransoming the items for fruit, nuts, or candies, although this only encourages them to steal more.

Not far form the temple, still at the same are we will be watching Kecak and fire dance, Kecak is a very unique Balinese dance, which is not accompanied by an orchestra but by a chorus of seventy men, and it originates from an ancient ritual dance, the “Sanghyang” or trance dance, in which a person in a trance state communicates with deities or their ancestors. Using the dancers as a means of communication, the deities and ancestors convey their wishes. In the 1930s, the ancient Indian epic Ramayana was included among the dance disciplines. the narrative of Bali’s Kecak and Fire Dance follows the story of Rama, a wise prince of Ayodya who is exiled from the kingdom of his father, King Dasarata. Accompanied by his wife Sita and younger brother Laksamana, Rama takes refuge in the forest of Dandaka. During their stay, the demon king Rahwana, desiring Sita, devises a cunning plan with the help of his prime minister Marica. Marica, using her magical power, transforms herself into a golden deer to distract Rama and Laksamana, allowing Rahwana to kidnap Sita and take her to his palace in Alengka. Rama and Laksamana, discovering the deception, set out to rescue Sita with the help of a vast army of monkeys led by Hanuman. Rama finally manages to bring his wife back safely, and some of these crucial events are depicted in the performance of the Kecak Dance.
