About this audio guide
This guide to Tegenungan Waterfall in Bali follows an old legend about Mayadenawa, a shape-shifting king who defied the gods and fled the army of Indra through a series of increasingly desperate disguises. It traces the chase toward its end and the belief in what the river below is said to carry because of it. Best heard leaning on the railing above the pool, over the roar of the falls.
