Located in the very rural village of Pakraman Sawagunung, is the Pura Pengukur Ukaran meaning ‘Temple Where All Things Are Measured.’ It was built in the 12th century and sits on the edge of a ravine where to the side are massive stone steps that lead to Goa Garba (‘The Womb’) on the banks of the river below.  This cave was supposedly the dwelling of the Mahapatih Kebo Iwa from Bedahulu Kingdom.

The temple’s inner courtyard contains of numerous bales, pre-Hindu megaliths, carved stones, and an ornate shrine with Linga. On the western bank of the Pakrisan River there is a gouge on a boulder, which is said to be the step or footprint of the giant Kebo Iwa himself. In this small valley, are ancient disused bathing places (for the king’s on the left, the queen’s on the right), and three meditation niches hewn out of the rock face, with slanting roofs and carvings decorating the walls. Inscriptions in Kediri script above the hermitage cells are still legible; inside are a few pieces of ancient sculpture and pedestals.
