Gunung Kawi is an 11th-century temple complex at Tampaksiring, Bali, where ten shrine facades about seven metres high are carved into cliffs on both sides of the Pakerisan river. They are traditionally held to be memorials to King Anak Wungsu and members of his family. The site is part of Bali's UNESCO-listed cultural landscape.
