Pura Taman Saraswati, Hindu temple in Ubud, Indonesia.
The Pura Taman Saraswati temple features a central lotus pond with water gardens, stone carvings, and three traditional red-bricked entrance gates.
The temple was constructed between 1951 and 1952 by architect I Gusti Nyoman Lempad under the commission of Prince Cokorda Gede Agung Sukawati.
The temple honors Saraswati, the Hindu goddess of knowledge and arts, through regular ceremonies and traditional Balinese dance performances.
Visitors must wear traditional sarongs and sashes when entering the temple grounds, which remain open daily from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM.
The temple incorporates an architectural element called aling-aling, marked by a 3-meter tall statue designed to prevent negative entities from entering.

Walking routes in Bali traverse rice terraces, waterfalls and temple complexes, offering access to the island's varied landscape and cultural sites. The trails range from the sculpted rice paddies of Tegallalang and Jatiluwih to the clifftop setting of Uluwatu Temple and the volcanic slopes of Mount Batur. Visitors will find a network of paths through traditional villages, water gardens and highland areas. The routes include the rolling rice landscapes of Sidemen Valley, forest trails to Sekumpul and Banyumala waterfalls, and the Campuhan Ridge Walk through Ubud. Many paths connect natural features with cultural landmarks such as Gunung Kawi, Tirta Gangga and the rural village of Penglipuran. The coastal walks of Nusa Penida, including Kelingking Beach and Angel's Billabong, provide access to cliffs and sheltered coves along the shoreline.
Bali offers diverse natural formations and religious sites. From coastal cliffs at Broken Beach to ancient temples at Pura Luhur Lempuyang, the island contains waterfalls, beaches, and rice fields. The Jatiluwih terraces show agricultural heritage while temples like Gunung Kawi present historical architecture. Natural pools at Angel's Billabong and coral reefs at Blue Lagoon display marine environments.
