Pura Taman Ayun

Pura Taman Ayun

Pura Taman Ayun is a Balinese temple and garden complex in Mengwi, Badung Regency, Bali. Multi-tiered meru towers stand within a moated compound, and the canals encircling the temple are an active part of subak, Bali's traditional irrigation system — rather than one grand structure, it's a place best enjoyed by strolling slowly through the interplay of water, gardens, and towers.
