At sunset, creating a mix of colors: orange and magenta sky and the tide rises, the beauty of Tanah Lot is a spectacular sight.
The temple is one of the seven seas famous temple in Bali. It is said that everyone had to respect this temple and taken to a level of protection of the island. Dated in16th century, the shrine of Dang Hyang Nirartha (a priest from Java) built during his travels in south-west coast of Bali. He saw a small island near the main country spent the night. The next morning he asked the local fishermen on an altar to the god of the sea on the rock worship, if he was to build a sacred atmosphere of the rocky island.
Tanah Lot means land in the sea, is a part of the Tabanan Regency in the west of Bali. It is only 33 km from Denpasar. Canggu route I took, because the management of rice fields is beautiful on both sides of the road. Otherwise, there is another bus route along the West Bali exercise and at the roundabout turn left from Kediri.
In 1998, I attended the first temple. At that moment I could see the temple of the road before the parking time zone, I’m back in the temple, I could see the road because the area developed and marketed. Some hotels have been built due to market demand. Each visitor must pay for car entry. I could go into the temple, where we go early in our parking lot near the beach. Craft vendor lines on the road to the temple located in a room on both sides of the footpath located to the temple.
The temple is regarded as one of the holiest places in Bali. It is open to visitors, but reserved only for pilgrims. But a glance through the temple glowing sunset date supported by so many points seen in the neighborhood. There are a number of souvenir shops and cafes line Kelapa Muda it if (fresh coconut ice cream) and a variety of foods and beverages. Some bars even have a panoramic view of the sunset from the terrace. If the flood, the audience mostly on the beach between the rocks, where the temple was laid, and the rocks are centered on the continent.
Caves that are part of the rock are another attraction place became famous. They say a giant snake living in a cave. It also believes that at the foot of the rocky island, poisonous sea snakes guarding the temple from evil spirits and intruders. The myth says that the snake was Nirartha scarf.
Well, sometimes when the tide rocky island and the mainland by rising water separately, and boats are the only way to get to the pilgrimage to the temple. Floods or reject, is the beautiful landscape ever since. Small rocky island looks like a large boat, with an altar on the trees and anchored to the seabed in the vast ocean tide.
The metamorphosis of the neighborhood do not pick at Tanah Lot, we hope, the beauty of classical temple.The historically beautiful temple in the evening is still the most popular color printed on postcards. The temple is one of the most prominent symbols of Bali.
