Yeh Pulu
Yeh Pulu is an archaeological site in Bedulu, Bali, where carved stone preserves scenes from Balinese life and Hindu mythology. Wayang figures appear beside Hindu gods in the stone. The reliefs cover a long rock face and show Ganesh, horsemen, an ascetic, and a seated woman. Freshwater springs help shape the setting around the site. Yeh Pulu lies in a ravine between the Petanu and Pakerisan rivers, with rice fields and green forest nearby. Bedulu frames the carvings with a village landscape. An approach through forest trails and rice fields connects the archaeological site with its surrounding landscape. A sacred bathing place lies north of the main carvings. Naturalistic stone reliefs decorate that bathing place and connect water, stone, and ritual within the wider site. Dutch authorities excavated Yeh Pulu during their occupation of Indonesia. The site offers a quiet setting for examining Bali’s fourteenth-century artistry and its record of everyday village life. Yeh Pulu means water of the stone vessel.
