Located in the Kabupaten of Tabanan about 20 km from Denpasar, it stands on an islet beaten by the waves of the ocean . The Tanah Lot is said to be the work of Nirartha, a 15th century priest. Legend has it that he discovered this beautiful rocky islet during a trip and settled there. Fishermen who saw him would have brought him presents. After spending the night there, Nirartha would have judged this place to be suitable for the worship of the sea god and would have asked the fishermen to build a sanctuary there , . e g The temple of Tanah Lot thus built became a reference in Balinese mythology. It is one of the seven a l l temples of the sea of Bali. These seven temples are built along the coast in such a way that the next i v

one can always be seen from the previous one. They are all Hindu style. , t e h l g p i Dinner at a local restaurant and overnight at the hotel. l m n e u T s DAY 7 f T i e e m LOMBOK l d p s l e ,
