Klungkung Palace, Royal palace complex in Semarapura, Indonesia

The Klungkung Palace features the Kerta Gosa pavilion, which contains detailed ceiling paintings depicting scenes from Hindu mythology and moral teachings.

Built in the 17th century, the palace served as the residence of Balinese kings until 1908, when Dutch colonial forces destroyed most structures during their invasion.

The floating pavilion, Bale Kambang, displays intricate paintings across six levels that illustrate traditional Balinese tales and astrological knowledge.

The palace complex opens daily from morning to late afternoon, with guided tours available to explain the historical importance of each remaining structure.

The ceiling of the justice hall presents a narrative sequence of punishments in the afterlife, painted in traditional Balinese style with natural pigments.
