Mount Kawi
Gunung Kawi is an 11th-century temple and funerary complex in Tampaksiring. 180 north east of Ubud in Bali, Indonesia, that is spread across either side of the Pakerisan river. It comprises 10 rock-cut candi (shrines) that are carved into some 7-metre-high (23 ft) sheltered niches of the sheer cliff face. These funeral monuments are thought to be dedicated to King Anak Wungsu of the Udayana dynasty and his favourite queens. On the east side there are five temples that are dedicated, according to one theory, to King Udayana, his queen Mahendradatta, and their sons Airlanga, Anak Wungsu, and Marakata. The temples on the west side are dedicated, according to the same theory, to the king's minor queens or concubines.

Tampaksiring
Subak Irrigation System Using the Tri Hita Karana Philosophy.
The tri hita karana philosophy is an important principle held by the Balinese. The principle of tri hita karana is a method used by Balinese to maintain balance in their daily lives. By using this principle, Balinese can maintain a harmonious relationship between humans, humans and God, as well as humans and their natural surroundings.
Then, how to apply the philosophy of tri hita karana in the subak irrigation system? What you need to know, in the traditional subak irrigation system in Bali, rice fields cannot stand alone. All rice fields in an area, are in one unit. Therefore, when one rice field is disturbed or disturbed, the presence of other fields is also disturbed.

Irrigation management is based on a subak system, using landscapes using natural water flow. The source of water used is usually obtained from springs around the paddy field area, utilizing river flows that arise due to volcanic flow. In its application, the Subak system is fully implemented by the community without government intervention.

Regarding how to manage the subak system, there are special officers known as kelian Subak (pekaseh). Another task in the subak irrigation system is to distribute water so farmers can get their water intake fairly. Not only that, kelian also has an important task in maintaining social relations between each rice field owner.

The existence of the subak system can often be identified by the existence of Ulun Suwi Temple or Pelinggih Dugul which is intended as a form of worship to Dewi Sri.

Locked between the stands of verdant jungle, the pure waters of the Pejeng and Pakerisan streams gurgle their way over rocks and convoluted water courses. These two rivers form a holy rectangular area that is home to many ancient monuments.
Pakerisan Valley is a mystical river valley in Gianyar Regency which contains the remains of ancestors from ages ago. Within the cradle of this valley are prehistoric and pre-Majaphahit archaeological sites. It is indeed a spectacular sight. This ravine, located between rice fields, is the home of magnificent stone carved shrines that honor 11th century royalty.

Also, along the Pakerisan River, hidden beneath a deep stone carved staircase, is the magnificent Gunung Kawi Temple. Two rows of royal tombs, hewn from solid rock, they stand as monument to some long forgotten ancient ruler. The river flows though the centre of the complex and once again reiterates, the theme of holy water.
