FURTHER READING

Goa Gajah, or the Elephant Cave is located on the island of Bali near Ubud, in Indonesia.

Although the exact origins of the cave are uncertain, it is believed to have been built as a place for meditation. One folklore relates that it was created by the fingernail of the legendary giant Kebo Iwa. The complex contains both Hindu and Buddhist imagery, as the cave contains lingam and yoni, the symbol of Shiva, and the image of Ganesha.

Also depicted in this image is the classic Balinese myth of Rajapala. A clever hunter (Rajapala) steals the gown of a heavenly maiden and without her magical gown she cannot fly back to heaven with her friends. Rajapala is smitten with the maiden ‘Ken Sulasih’ so he strikes a deal... if she will bear him a child and raise it for seven years... he will return her gown, Sulasih agrees and soon after their son is born. After seven years have passed, the maiden finds her magical gown hidden-away by Rajapala and she flies back to heaven leaving her husband and son to stay on earth. Rajapala gives up hunting and becomes a holy man.
