GloriaJuly 2026
From the first moment everything was handled for us, and staff were there to keep the monkeys away. The temple is lovely, though we could not go inside without the right clothes.

The listing is labelled 1 to 6 hours, and pickup is listed as available, with the details shown at booking. It names a 6 PM first session and a 7 PM second session in the evening season. The temple's own office gives 18:00 to 19:00 for the show.

the cliff
A sea temple above the Indian Ocean
Uluwatu was founded as a sea temple, to shield Bali from harmful forces coming off the ocean, on a limestone cliff 70 m high. It stands in Pecatu village, in the South Kuta district of Badung Regency.
The Kecak amphitheater belongs to the temple and sits 70 m above the water, so the sea is the backdrop to every scene. The management ties the show to the sunset behind the temple, and it begins in daylight.
At the temple stands a statue of Kumbakarna, who fights in the Ramayana. The same epic is the story of the dance, so the stone you walk past and the scenes you watch belong together.

the tale
Rama, Shinta and a white monkey with fire
The Kecak tells of Prince Rama and his wife Shinta, exiled to the forest, where the demon king Rahwana abducts Shinta.
The white monkey warrior Hanoman goes to find her, and the show climaxes with his fire dance, when he burns down Rahwana's palace.
The characters tell it with hand gestures, facial expressions and steps, without spoken dialog, while the chorus supplies the sound.

the voices
Men's voices instead of an orchestra
Kecak uses no musical instruments: a large male chorus chants the cak-cak-cak rhythm.
The Ministry says it is performed by tens to hundreds of men sitting in a circle and chanting cak over and over.
The temple management dates the dance to the 1930s, when the Balinese artist Wayan Limbak developed it with Walter Spies, adapting the sacred Sanghyang dance.
