Taman
Ayun. Located in Mengwi and was the area of royal temple which
is built in the year 1634, the temple consists of a forecourt,
a central court and a spacious inner court. A lake of lotus surrounds
the area of the temple, about 300 meters in the side of Mengwi
Palace.
Beyond
the moat, the temple lies on slightly rising ground. The grassy
expanse of the outermost courtyard, the fine array of Meru and
pavilions in the inner courtyard, and its well-kept appearance
make it one of the most beautiful temples in Bali. Across the
area of the temple can be found the Museum of Manusia Yadnya,
a museum of rituals of human being since they were in the womb
till they burn after death.
