TANAH LOT TEMPLE
As one of the six cardinal temple of Bali, and one of the most scenic, Pura Tanah Lot holds its own as Bali`s most visited temple. You may have seen it before on postcard and in guidebooks, with its multi-tiered meru (pagodas) perched on a rocky outcropping in the sea, highlighted against the hazy hues of the sunset. The temple is not only scenic, but also shrouded in intriguing history and legend.
Tanah Lot was founded by the Javanese priest Danghyang Nirartha in the 16th century. Legend has it that he slept on the site one evening, and afterward suggested that the Balinese build a sacred temple on the spot. The temple is one of the six cardinal temple in Bali that are strung out in a line down the west coast, and on a clear day you can see all the way to another cardinal temple, Pura Uluwatu on the southwestern coast of the Bukit Peninsula. As one of Bali`s many sea temple that are meant to honor the Gods and Goddess of the ocean, this is a sacred site that is revered by many Balinese Hindus.
The name Pura Tanah Lot means “temple of the sea and the earth”, and once there is easy to see why. The temple was built on top of jagged rocks just off the coast, and it is only accessible at low tide, when a footpath appears along the sand and out to the rocks. Inside, there are two pavilions and two shrines with a 7-tiered meru and a 3-tiered meru.
Locals believe that the temple is protected by small poisonous black and white sea snakes as well as one giants snake, all of which were originally Nirartha`s sashes that fell into the sea when he left sacred spot. Another legend says that unmarried couples who visit the temple will break up soon afterwards, which is perhaps why you will never see young Balinese couples visiting the site.
