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 middle 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 do 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.
