ULUWATU TEMPLE

Info
Pura Luhur Uluwatu or Uluwatu Temple is a temple located in the Pecatu Traditional Village area, South Kuta District, Badung Regency. The temple, which is located at the southwest tip of the island of Bali, on a steep and high rock platform jutting into the sea, is the Sad Kayangan Temple which is believed by Hindus to be a buffer from the 9 winds. This temple was originally used as a place to worship a holy priest from the 11th century named Empu Kuturan. He passed down the teachings of the Traditional Village with all its rules.

This temple is also used to worship the next holy priest, namely Dang Hyang Nirartha, who came to Bali at the end of 1550 and ended his holy journey with what is called Moksa or Ngeluhur in this place. This word is the origin of the name Pura Luhur Uluwatu. Uluwatu Temple is located at an altitude of 97 meters above sea level. In front of the temple there is a small forest called alas kekeran, which functions as a buffer for the sanctity of the temple.

Uluwatu Temple has several order temples, namely temples that are closely related to the main temple. The ordered temples are Bajurit Temple, Pererepan Temple, Kulat Temple, Dalem Selonding Temple and Dalem Pangleburan Temple. Each of these temples has a close relationship with Uluwatu Temple, especially in its piodalan days. Piodalan at Uluwatu Temple, Bajurit Temple, Pererepan Temple and Kulat Temple falls on Tuesday Kliwon Wuku Medangsia every 210 days. The manifestation of God worshiped at Uluwatu Temple is Dewa Rudra.

Pura Uluwatu juga menjadi terkenal karena tepat di bawahnya adalah pantai Pecatu yang sering kali digunakan sebagai tempat untuk olahraga selancar, bahkan event internasional sering kali diadakan di sini. Ombak pantai ini terkenal amat cocok untuk dijadikan tempat selancar selain keindahan alam Bali yang memang amat cantik.
