Pura
Uluwatu is a Balinese sea temple in Uluwatu (Kuta South, Badung). The temple is regarded as one of the sad kahyangan and
is dedicated to Sang
Hyang Widhi Wasa in his manifestation as Rudra.
The
Uluwatu’s temple is built at the edge (ulu) of a 70 meter high cliff or
rock (watu) projecting into the sea. Though
a small temple was claimed to have existed earlier, the structure was
significantly expanded by a Javanese sage, Empu Kuturan in the 11th Century.
Another sage from East Java, Dang Hyang Nirartha is credited for constructing the padmasana shrines and it is said that he
attained moksha here, an event called ngeluhur ("to go up") locally. This
has resulted in the temple's epithetLuhur.
