Founded in 1266 AD, Pura Penataran Sasih is one of Bali’s most intriguing temples, once linked to the powerful Pejeng kingdom. Hidden within its weathered courtyards is the legendary Moon of Pejeng, a 2000 year old Bronze Age nekara, widely regarded as the largest single cast bronze drum of its kind. Surrounded by archaeological debate, sacred rituals and legends of a moon that fell from the sky, this extraordinary relic continues to guard the mysteries of Bali’s ancient past

From an ancient river in India to a Goddess inspiring art, music and learning across Asia, Saraswati flows through history, myth and human creativity. Honoured in sacred texts, celebrated in Bali’s vibrant rituals and revered from Nepal to Japan, she embodies wisdom, inspiration and the eternal current of thought. Her presence reminds us that knowledge and creativity are never still, they ripple, dance and transform, shaping both the world and the mind.
