Pura Taman Ayun (Temple of a beautiful garden) is the temple for the royal family in Mengwi. Brief overview : Pura Taman Ayun was built in 1634 by the Raja I Gusti Agong Anom.
It's surrounded by a massive moat. When we were there, the moat was being drained as part of its regular maintenance.
The inner courtyard of the Pura is complete with magnificent Merus, bales & shrines. The higher the meru, the more important it is. There are 3 very important Meru here,honoring the 3 important mountains in Bali i.e. Gunung Agung, Gunung Batukau & Gunung Batur.
