Uluwatu, the cliff Temple, sanctified as one of the six main directional temples of Bali, or sad Kahyangan, Pura Luhur Uluwatu hovers on a stunning spot above the indian Ocean, at the tip of the Bukit Peninsula. Mpu Kuturan, a javanese priest who came to Bali in the beginning of the 11th century, is believed to have founded the temple. The temple is also associated with the legendary 16th century priest, Danghyang Nirartha, who built several famed sanctuaries around Bali, until he achieved moksa at uluwatu – the liberation from the endless cycle of rebirth, to become one with the infinite.
