Most come here longing to catch a glimpse of the romantic Tanah Lot sunsets, a regular occurrence
during the dry season (April to November). The
area comprises a wondrous mixture of natural beauty and human
effort. Here lies an idyllic white sand beach with crashing waves,
complemented by a small yet majestic temple. This temple, known as Pura
Tanah Lot, juts out to sea on a rocky background. Tanah Lot attracts
throngs of both locals and tourists daily.
The best time to see Tanah Lot is in the late afternoon when the temple is in silhouette. The royal Taman Ayun temple was built by one of the last priests to come to Bali from Java in the 16th century. The temple stands on the top of a huge rock, surrounded by the sea and is one of Bali's most important sea temples. Tanah Lot pays homage to the guardian spirits of the sea. Ancient rituals pay homage to the guardian spirits of the sea. At the base of the rocky island are poisonous sea snakes believed to guard the temple from evil spirits and intruders. |
