About
Uluwatu is both a sea temple and one of Bali's nine directional temples, and Dang Hyang Nirartha is said to have attained moksha here. Visitors walk the clifftop paths while the inner temple stays reserved for prayer; wear a sarong and sash, keep out of areas reserved for worship, and note that by local custom women who are menstruating do not enter temple grounds. The Kecak dance runs in two one-hour sessions from about 18.00 and costs Rp100k on top of entry.
