ULUWATU๐๐๐
Uluwatu is a region on the south-western tip of the Bukit Peninsula of Bali, Indonesia. It is home to the Pura Luhur Uluwatu Temple. Uluwatu Temple is the second most important temple on the island of Bali. This is a popular place of worship, where hundreds of curious tourists gather every day and pray. The temple is located in a picturesque place, on top of a cliff hanging over the ocean. The simple construction of Pura Luhur Uluwatu consists almost entirely of white and gray blocks of petrified corals; it is a state temple dedicated to the spirits of the sea.
Above the cliff, next to the temple there is a panoramic road with a wonderful view, which is simply indescribable at sunset. Here also lives a large colony of monkeys, which makes a monkey business. They immediately grab the things they like from tourists: glasses, cameras, hair clips! But if it happened, do not get upset, if youโre lucky, the monkeys will gladly give you everything back in exchange for a bag of nuts and bananas, of course!
In addition to a marvelous location, in the evenings in front of the entrance to the temple you can see the Kecak dance performance. During this dance, hundreds of men in black and white sarongs, sitting in a lotus position and raising their hands, say monotonously "ke-cak-ke-cak". Men are sitting around the platform on which the dancers, in the light of the lamp, tell the story of Rama and Sita.
