Pura Tanah Lot

Pura Tanah Lot, also known as Tanah Lot, is a rock formation off the Indonesian island of Bali. It is home to the ancient Hindu pilgrimage temple, a popular tourist and cultural icon for photography. The temple is situated on a rock in the ocean, just offshore, and is only accessible on foot at low tide. The main deity of the temple is Dewa Baruna or Bhatara Segara, who is the sea god or sea power. The temple is claimed to be the work of 16th-century religious figure Dang Hyang Nirartha, who allegedly spent a night there in the course of his extensive travels in Bali, Lombok, and Sumbawa. Tanah Lot is one of the seven main sea temples, located along the south-western coast of Bali, and is a very important site for pilgrimages, playing an important role in Balinese spiritualism and mythology
