Entry into Taman Saraswati is free but, as with any temple visit in Bali, a sash and sarong around the waist are required. You can also drop into Café Lotus for a minimum dinner cover charge, which will get you the best view over the lotuses and to the temple’s open stage. Traditional dance performances are regularly held here in the evenings.
You can enter the temple from behind the amphitheater at any time of the day. Admire the calming atmosphere, architectural features and sandstone bas reliefs that honor the Hindu goddess of knowledge and arts, Saraswati, for which it's named after.
