Goa Gajah, or Elephant Cave, is an archaeological site from the 9th century, featuring a cave entrance carved as a demonic face. Inside, visitors find a small meditation chamber with lingam and yoni symbols. The site also includes two rectangular bathing pools with water spouts shaped like nymphs, used for purification rituals. Surrounded by lush rice paddies, it provides a serene atmosphere for exploring Bali's Hindu-Buddhist heritage.
