Overview

The Taman Ayun temple is boardered by broad canals and it can only be entered via a bridge leading to a richly ornamented candi bentar, the gate which gives access to the outer courtyard (jaba) of the temple.
From this candi bentar a straight, paved footpath leads through the well maintained park past a square pond with a fountain exactly in its center. This fountain has nine water jets, four of which are positioned according the cardinal points, another four according the sub-cardinal points and the ninth in the center, symbolizing the Dewa Nawa Sanga, the nine main gods of Balinese Hinduism.
