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.
