Located in the bustling center of Ubud, Pura Taman Saraswati is a masterpiece of Balinese architecture designed by the renowned artist I Gusti Nyoman Lempad. The temple is most famous for its stunning approach—a bridge flanked by large ponds overflowing with blooming lotus flowers. Dedicated to Saraswati, the Hindu goddess of knowledge and arts, the site features exquisite stone carvings and traditional split gates. While the inner sanctum is reserved for worship, the outer gardens provide a peaceful atmosphere for reflection and photography. Its proximity to local cafes and the Ubud Palace makes it an easy and essential stop for any cultural itinerary.
