Revisit The Ramayana Along The Ayung River in Ubud, Bali

The Ayung River in Ubud, Bali is famous for white water rafting and kayaking. Since 2023 though, visitors can witness one more marvel after sculptors carved the “Ramayana” along the river wall. On a one-kilometre stretch you can see scenes like Vishnu’s incarnation as a human (Rama); his marriage; Rama, Sita and Lakshmana’s 14 years of exile; Sita’s kidnapping by the demon king Ravana; and the epic battle between Rama and Ravana after which the former emerged victorious. The reliefs are eye-catching and the craftsmanship is excellent to behold in person.
