Big Monument
of Lord Bajrang Bali is located at Tanah Lot temple; BALI, an island and
province of sovereignty island country INDONESIA in Southeast Asia (out of
India). Bali also known as “Island of Gods” is located at the westernmost end
of the Lesser Sunda Islands, between Java to the west and Lombok to
the east. Its capital Denpasar is located at southern part of the
island.
Tanah Lot is
a rock formation off the Indonesian island of Bali. It
is home to the pilgrimage temple Pura
Tanah Lot (literally "Tanah Lot temple"), a
popular tourist and cultural icon for photography and general exoticism.
In Balinese
language, Tanah Lot means "Land in the Sea" is located in Tabanan,
about 20 kms from Denpasar, the temple sits on a large offshore rock which
has been shaped continuously over the years by ocean tide.
Tanah Lot
temple was built and has been a part of Balinese mythology for
centuries. It is claimed to be the work of 16th-century Dang Hyang
Nirartha. The temple is one of seven sea temples around the Balinese
coast. Each of the sea temples was established within eyesight of the next to
form a chain along the south-western coast. In addition to Balinese mythology,
the temple was significantly influenced by Hinduism. Sunset at Pura Tanah
Lot is wonderful and ultimate scene in evening.
At base of
the rocky island, venomous sea snakes are believed to guard the
temple from evil spirits and intruders. The temple is purportedly protected by
a giant snake, which was created from Nirartha's selendang (a type of sash)
when he established the island.
