Temple Yeh Pulu

This guide to Yeh Pulu in Bali follows the 1925 discovery of a hidden riverbank wall, when local boys led a Dutch painter to a stretch of cliff carved centuries earlier, later excavated by archaeologist W. F. Stutterheim. It traces the twenty-five-meter relief of hunters, water carriers and a jeweled woman, carved near the end of the Majapahit era, and the debate over whether hermits or palace artisans made it. You'll also hear the legend of a king who once meditated at this same hermitage.
