One such significant tourist attraction is the Kerta Gosa in Bali.
Approximately 2 hours away from Kuta, Bali's Kerta Gosa stands on the main street of the heart of Klungkung, quite close to east Bali. This historical building constructed in the 1710 is a preserved complex of the Hall of Justice. The King of Klungkung punished the criminals in this Hall of Justice right from the 17th century. A former guards' house, the Taman Gili or Garden Pavilion stands on the premises of the Kerta Gosa in Bali in Indonesia.
The style of paintings on the ceilings of the Kerta Gosa in Bali reflect the Kamasan or the wayang. The appearance of the paintings are puppet like and the exquisite art offers a depiction of good versus evil. These paintings also reflect the gruesome consequences that the sinners went through. The art also narrates the story of Bima Swarga who went to hell to search and save the souls of his parents. The panels of Taman Gili also reflect the chronicle of Sutasoma slaying a dragon, horoscopes pictographs and a wedding.
The Kerta Gosa in Bali is certainly one of the finest attractions of the city and is open from 7 in the morning to 5.30 in the evening for the tourists to visit.
