Penataran Sasih Temple is located about 4 kilometers east of the centre of Ubud. This was one of the Pejeng kingdom. In the inner courtyard, high up in a pavilion and difficult to see, is a huge bronze drum known as the gmoon of Pejengh. The hourglass-shaped drum is more than 2m long, the largest single- piece cast drum in the world. Estimates of its age vary from 1000 to 2000 years. Balinese legend relates that the drum came to earth as a fallen moon, landing in a tree and shining so brightly that it prevented a band of thieves from going about their unlawful purpose. One of the thieves decided to put the light out by urinating on it, but the moon exploded and fell to earth as a drum.
