Kertha Gosa

Also known as Kerta Gosa

The Kertha Gosa is an 18th-century pavilion in Semarapura, Bali, part of the palace of the Dewa Agung of Klungkung, where the court sat in judgement. Its ceilings are covered with paintings in the traditional Kamasan style showing scenes of heaven, hell and punishment from Balinese versions of Hindu stories; they were repainted in the 20th century. It is one of the few parts of the palace that survived the Dutch attack of 1908.
