Pura Pengukur-ukuran (Goa Garba)

Pura Pengukur-ukuran is located in the Pakraman Sawagunung Village, Pejeng Kelod Village, Gianyar.
There are a relic of the Candi Agung and the ancient rites that are stored in a palinggih (cult building) of Ratu Bujangga here. And there are relics of Goa Garba to the east of the temple.

This cave is believed to be the hermitage of the Mahapatih Kebo Iwa from Bedahulu Kingdom when they wanted to add to the building, including making a wall-size of Pura Pengukur-ukuran. In addition to the Candi Agung, Goa Garba, and statues, there are also relics of the gate that connects the Candi Agung with Patirtaan (fountain). The Patirtaan is still to be used as a means to get the holy water and washing facilities as well as the rice to preparing a ceremony until now.
