Tanah Lot
Tanah Lot is a very beautiful small island. Tanah Lot is located in Tabanan, only around 20
km away from Denpasar. Tanah Lot is derived from two words. Namely : Tanah and Lot.
Tanah means land and Lot means sea. So that Tanah Lot means Land in the sea. Tanah Lot
was built by Hindu priest from Java island in the 15TH centuries. His name was Dang Hyang
Niratha. He came to Bali to spread out Hindu religion by building up many temples. Such as :
● Rambutsiwi temple in western part of Bali
● Uluwatu temple in southern part of Bali
● Silayukti temple in eastern part of Bali
● Pulaki temple in northern part of Bali
Tanah Lot was surrounded by sea water at high tide. And on the cliff, stands up a temple.
This temple is decorated with green plants (as you can see over there). There are so many
caves and holes on the wall of the cliff, where many sea snakes live in. Balinese believe that
those snakes are the bodyguard of the temple. So that, it’s forbidden for any body to harm or
kill them. Because those snakes are regarded as the holly snakes.
