Arjuna consists of 5 temples located inside the complex and another 4 just outside of the temple complex. All of them were built at the end of the 12th century. In fact, these 9 temples are the only ones remaining from the 400 temples that were built here ages ago. The last place to visit on this impressive day in Java is an enchanting multiple-colored lake. Shimmering in shades of red, green, blue, white and mauve, this lake is really stunning and the atmosphere around the lake is wonderfully calm and quiet.
