Pura Yeh Gangga is a 15th century Majapahit style temple with an accompnying cave complex alongside the nearby river Yeh. The temple itself has a 7-Tiered Meru Temple, a high shrine, and embedded Chinese porcelein in the temple walls. There is a path down to the river, alongside which there is a small Tirta, and on the opposite bank there are a number of caves cut into the rock, with what look like ancient carvings, predating the temple itself. I could find no information about the caves bwyond a mention of their existence. The Temple itself was renovated in 1954-55.
