Follow the lotus ponds to ornate gates, carved statues and the visitor-accessible outer sanctuary.

Pura Taman Saraswati, also known as Ubud Water Palace, is dedicated to Dewi Saraswati, the Hindu goddess of learning, literature and art. Lotus ponds lead to carved gates, reliefs and temple buildings designed by Balinese artist and architect I Gusti Nyoman Lempad. Visitors explore the outer precinct; the inner temple remains sacred and closed to guests. Café Lotus hosts a separate evening dance programme.
