Location: Bali Indonesia

Tirta Gangga was constructed in 1946 by the late King Anak Agung Anglurah Ketut Karangasem, the king of Karangasem. It was designed as a place of worship and meditation for the royal family. Its grounds are spread over a large area with lush gardens and pathways. It is still beloved by the Balinese today. The palace has its roots in an ancient belief system. Some suggest it was built in the 8th century AD, dedicated to Dewi Danu or Shiva. It has been passed through many hands throughout the years. The palace suffered significant damage during World War II when Japanese soldiers occupied it. The palace was left in ruins for many years until the Indonesian government restored it in the 1970s. Now, it is managed and maintained by members of the local regency council.
