The Moon of Pejeng - Temple of the Bronze Drum
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
