Drops down in the southeastern part Pura Rambut siwi there is Pura Segara. This temple also called Pura Taman. Adjacent to it there is Pura Penataran. In the event, especially if there pujawali (temple anniversary/festival), those three temples are apparently in association. Pujawali held every six months on the day Buda (Wednesday)Umanis wuku Prangbakat (Balinese calender). Generally when we pray to Rambut Siwi Temple is certainly also performed worship in Pura Segara, and Pura Penataran. Rise to the top of the South-west then stands majestically Rambut Siwi temple. Noting the location of the three temples arrangement, obviously appears the temples are very old. Since before the Mpu (Priest) Kuturan teaching to develop Tri Kahyangan (Three temples) in every village in Bali, there were three types of temples in every kingdom in Bali, Pura Segara (Sea), Pura Penataran Surface), and Pura Puncak (Peak/Mountain). Pura Rambut Siwi is classified its peak (Puncak) because it is on top or on the plateau when viewed from the Pura Segara, and Pura Penataran. It symbolizes the worship of God animates Bhur Loka (Bottom), Bhuwah Loka (Surface), and Swah Loka (Top). Those three temples depicts that God exists everywhere, in the bottom, surface, and top of nature.

Even more remarkable than the temple itself is its location, perched on a steep cliff 70 metres above the roaring Indian ocean waves. There are more steep headlands on either side and sunsets over Uluwatu are a sight to behold.
