The water garden complex 'Taman Tirtagangga' was built in 1946 by the last Raja of Karangsem, inspired by the spring, cool climate and scenic beauty. The water from one of Tirtagangga's natural springs is considered sacred. The garden is intended to ensure the safety of the sacred place and create a place of reflection, peace and joy for all visitors.
In 1963, the Gunung Agung volcanic eruption almost completely destroyed the garden. Tirtagangga is abandoned and subject to looting.
The restoration of the water garden began in 1979, but in the 1990s the facility fell into disrepair again. End of the 20th century Widoere Djelantik, the grandson of the last Raja, founded a foundation with the aim of restoring and developing the garden based on the Balinese Hinduism-Buddhism concept.
This concept divides the cosmos into Bhur, Bwah and Swah. Swah is the upper world of gods, Bwah is the middle world of humans and Bhur is the underworld of demons. The transition between these worlds is expressed by the 8 sculptures in the meditation center in the northwest corner of the garden. The human struggle between gods and demons is symbolized by 20 sculptures in the Mahabharata pond.
