Like bidadari (beautiful angels) visiting the
holy gardens from the sky, six ladies swam in the Versailles
(upper-middle) pond. Notice that the water fountains were much larger than

Carefully installation of electric lights (left)
without blinding spots will allow visitors to enjoy the gardens not only in
daylight, but also in the night. Occasionally, switching off the electricity and
replacing it with dozens of oil lamps (right) will make an evening walk in
the garden an unforgettable experience. For more details, see lightingplan. |

improved the west part of the gardens considerably. Top: Karangasem-style
shaped ponds decorated the front side of the Auditorium.
