Enjoying the Sunset at Tanah Lot, Bali


Sunset In Tanah Lot BaliBefore the afternoon, we finally arrived at Tanah Lot tourism object after the bus stopped. We walked through out the streets and go to some place which located on the seashore. The weather was clear enough today hoping to see the sunset in this place. Because Tanah Lot is a very suitable place to enjoy the beauty of Kuta Beach sunset addition.

Sightseeing lot of land situated in the Village Beraban Kediri Tabanan district, about 13 km from west of Tabanan. Here are two temples which are located on a large rock. One is located on the boulder and the other is located on the cliffs similar to Uluwatu Temple. Pura Tanah Lot is part of the Pura Sad heaven, that is pretending that the joints of the island of Bali. Pura Tanah Lot sea temple is a place of worships the gods of the sea guards. Entering Tanah Lot tourism objects, not necessarily directly to the side sea, but we have to pass the souvenir sellers and shops as far as 500 meters from the parking lot. Finally, we looked Pura Tanah Lot from a distance; it was located above a large rock like an island.

According to the legend, this temple was built by a Brahmin who wandered from Java. He is a successful Nirartha Danghyang strengthen, the belief of the Balinese Hindus will be teaching and developing the heaven Sad in the 16th century. At that time the ruler Tanah Lot, Bendesa Beraben, jealous of him because his followers began to leave and follow Nirartha Danghyang. Beraben Bendesa Nirartha Danghyang told to leave the Tanah Lot. He agreed, and before he left the Tanah Lot with its power to move the boulder into the middle of the beach (not into the sea) and built temples there. He also changed into a snake scarf temple guards. This snake was still there until now and is a scientifically snake including sea snakes that have the characteristics of a flat tail like a fish, striped black and yellow and has a poison 3 times stronger than cobra snake. End of the legend has it that Bendesa Beraben ‘finally’ be a follower Danghyang Nirartha.

Approaching the shore, finally clear Tanah Lot, but when it was high tide waves so we can not cross to the other side. As he saw the clear sky we waited for low tide so we could cross into the temple. Beach land is not a lot of sand but of rocks, so please be careful because a little slippery with moss and sea grasses.

Unfortunately, the tourists are prohibited from entering the temple. The tourists are only allowed in the temple area. We just took a picture for a while and then move into place to capture a sunset photo of this place. Then we visited the rock crevices to see the sacred snake that guards the temple guards attended by the keeper. Sightseeing there is very convenient when enjoyed there in the sun will sink or sunset, because the image is reflected in sunset ocean behind Tanah Lot will be perform a beautiful scenery with its Lot Land silhouette.
