Tanah Lot
is claimed to be the work of the 16th-century Dang Hyang Nirartha. During his
travels along the south coast he saw the rock-island's beautiful setting and
decided to rest there. Some fishermen saw him, and bought him gifts. Nirartha
then spent the night on the little island. Later he spoke to the fishermen and
told them to build a shrine on the rock, for he felt it to be a holy place to
worship the Balinese sea gods. The main deity of the temple is Dewa Baruna or
Bhatara Segara, who is the sea god or sea power and these days, Nirartha is
also worshipped here.
The Tanah
Lot temple was built and has been a part of Balinese mythology for centuries.
The temple is one of seven sea temples around the Balinese coast. Each of the
sea temples was established within eyesight of the next to form a chain along
the south-western coast. In addition to Balinese mythology, the temple was
significantly influenced by Hinduism.
