The Legendary Sunset
Tanah Lot with its Tanah Lot Temple, Sunset and the beach has been a legend for years. The
beauty and fascinating of the veiw when the sunset is coming has been inspirated people
about the almighty of the God. All are remind us of the essence of Bali as the paradise of
island.
The name of "Tanah Lot" is derived from the word of "Tanah" (means
land) and "Laut" (means sea). So Tanah Lot contains meaning of a
land in the middle of the sea. In the 16th century, a Hinduism priest, a holy priest from
East Java, visited the land in the middle of the sea. He was so impressed by the place and
had a long meditation there. Because of the value of the place is high spiritually, then
He decided to built a temple at the place in order to worship the God. Since the temple is
located in the middle of the sea, it is then namely Pura Tanah Lot (Tanah Lot Temple) or a
temple located in a land in the midlle of the sea. This temple is guarded spiritually and
phisically by many "things". Some of them are snakes homed at the rocks besides
the path to the temple. They don't not bother anyone or visitors except you do anything
wrong to the place.
Both moon rising or sunset is displayed perfectly from the temple at a good weather. To
see the sunset view and the temple set up together you should stand out of the temple. All
will create a romantic and religious situation around you. Keep quiet and let yourself
being unified with the situation around you. Then say a great endless thank to the God for
His bless to us. In some parts outside the temple you will still be able to see a moon
rising beautifully. But the view of a moon rising should be seen from the temple.
