Last stop for the day's visit was the nearby Pura Suraswati, built around the same time as the Royal Palace. Since Hinduism has thousands of gods it's really difficult to keep all the stories straight for the layman. It also accounts for the profusion of temples across Bali, since each village will have many temples dedicated to many different gods. This is dedicated to Suraswati, who is a goddess of water. Hence, the temple is built around a lotus pond, its nicest feature.
