Goa Gajah, or Elephant Cave, is located on the island of Bali near Ubud, in Indonesia. Built in the 9th century, it served as a sanctuary. At the façade of the cave is a relief of various menacing creatures and demons carved right into the rock at the cave entrance. The primary figure was once thought to be an elephant, hence the nickname Elephant Cave. The site is mentioned in the Javanese poem Desawarnana written in 1365. An extensive bathing place on the site was not excavated until the 1950s. These appear to have been built to ward off evil spirits.

象洞是巴厘島觀光名勝之一,也是著名的佛教聖地,相傳修建於十一世紀,是古代高僧苦修的岩雕洞穴。 它的整修工程時斷時續,一九五四年進行挖掘時,在洞窟前方挖出六尊女神鵰像及浴場,因而聲名遠播。 此洞位於比杜魯,洞前有神木和水池,池後有龕塔和祭師台;入口處雕刻有糾纏在一起的樹葉、石獸的頭像,以及被巴厘島人稱為卡拉的面目猙獰的石人像。 自洞口入窟有微弱的光線由內透出,循著光線進入約四十米,可以看到窟內兩旁有許多簡陃的壁龕
