however if once ever watch or read chinese literature,
there is this story about a monkey king and the legendary pandora
box. The monkey king has a parrner in a shape of human with the
head of elephant which in Balinese mythology is called Ganesha,
the son of Goddess Saraswati. Dewi Saraswati, is an illustration
of a goddess of knowledge to Balinese Hindu and Ganesha himself
is today taken by many Univerisities (including Indonesia's oldest
university in Bandung).
The temple is thought of being dedicated to honour the ganesha.
This fact is supported by the relic of Buddhist statue in the
foreground of the temple, and the Buddha cave, nowadays used as
holy ground for meditation. |
