Pura Luhur, Hindu sea temple in South Kuta, Indonesia
Perched upon a 70-meter-high cliff projecting into the Indian Ocean, Pura Luhur Temple stands as a guardian structure at the southwestern tip of Bali.
The temple experienced major expansion during the 11th century under Javanese sage Empu Kuturan, followed by additions from Dang Hyang Nirartha in the 16th century.
The temple serves as one of the nine directional temples of Bali, dedicated to Sang Hyang Widhi Wasa in his manifestation as Rudra, the Hindu deity.
The temple requires visitors to wear traditional sarongs and sashes, available for rent at the entrance, and maintains operating hours from 9 AM to 6 PM daily.
Long-tailed macaques inhabit the temple grounds and demonstrate learned bargaining behaviors, returning stolen items in exchange for food from temple visitors.
