Tanah Lot Temple - Tanah Lot Temple translates to “Land [in the] Sea” in Balinese. Situated in Tabanan, approximately 20 kilometers (12 miles) from Denpasar, the temple is perched on a large offshore rock that has been sculpted by the ocean tide over the years. The temple, a significant part of Balinese mythology, was constructed centuries ago and is one of seven sea temples along the Balinese coast. Each temple is positioned within sight of the next, forming a chain along the southwestern coast. Influenced heavily by Hinduism, the temple is believed to be the work of the revered 15th-century Hindu priest Danghyang Nirartha and plays a crucial role in Balinese spiritualism and mythology. Visiting in the afternoon is ideal for sunset views, kite flying, and watching the Kecak fire dance at 6:15 PM for a ticket price of 100k per person (personal expenses). You can also see the holy snake and holy water.
