Taman Sari, Yogyakarta, Indonesia (2) (3) (4) by Caspar Tromp

Taman Sari, or "Water Palace", was a 18th-century palace built by the sultans of Yogya in a syncretic Hindu-Islamic style, following a legend in which a Mataram sultan had a magical experience with Ratu Kidul, the Queen of the South Sea, in her underwater palace, where he learned the values of being a good ruler. Taman Sari, therefore, is built with various references to water and spiritual Hindu references of cosmic balance (Mount Meru, the Sea, the sky, etc.).
