The land on which Puri Saraswati Bungalows is built has always been part of the royal palace. Puri Saraswati Bungalow was originally an open garden area where children from the palace and their friends would play. Directly adjoining the Bungalows is the famous Lotus Pond, also part of the palace property. The pond and its bridge lead to a stage in front of magnificent Balinese Temple, Pura Saraswati. Inside this temple, master carvers create the beautiful faces of the mystical and magical Barong.
