Tanah Lot Temple is one of the most sacred temples (Hindu places of worship) in Bali, Indonesia. Here there are two temples located on large rocks. One is located on a boulder and the other is located on a cliff similar to Uluwatu Temple. Tanah Lot Temple is part of Dang Kahyangan Temple. Tanah Lot Temple is a sea temple where the gods who protect the sea are worshiped. Tanah Lot is famous as a beautiful place to see the sunset.

History
The history of Tanah Lot Temple in Bali, Indonesia is based on legend, it is said that in the 15th century, Bhagawan Dang Hyang Nirartha or known as Dang Hyang Dwijendra carried out a mission to spread Hinduism from the island of Java to the island of Bali.
At that time the ruler on the island of Bali was Raja Dalem Waturenggong. He really welcomed the arrival of Dang Hyang Nirartha in carrying out his mission, so that the spread of Hinduism succeeded in reaching remote villages on the island of Bali.
In the history of Tanah Lot, it is said that Dang Hyang Nirartha saw a holy light from the sea south of Bali, so Dang Hyang Nirartha looked for the location of the light and he arrived at a beach in a village called Beraban Tabanan village.
At that time, Beraban village was led by Bendesa Beraban Sakti, who strongly opposed the teachings of Dang Hyang Nirartha in spreading Hinduism. Bendesa Beraban Sakti, adheres to monotheism.
Dang Hyang Nirartha meditated on a rock that resembled the shape of a parrot that was originally on land.
In various ways, Bendesa Beraban wanted to expel Dang Hyang Nirartha from his meditation place.
According to the history of Tanah Lot, based on the legend, Dang Hyang Nirartha moved the rock (where he meditated) to the middle of the beach with spiritual power. The rock is named Tanah Lot, which means rock in the middle of the ocean.
Since that incident, Bendesa Beraban Sakti recognized Dang Hyang Nirartha's supernatural powers by becoming his follower and embracing Hinduism along with all the local residents.
It is said in the history of Tanah Lot, before leaving Beraban village, Dang Hyang Nirartha gave a keris to the village head of Beraban. The keris has the power to eliminate all diseases that attack plants.
The keris is kept at Puri Kediri and a religious ceremony is held at Tanah Lot Temple every six months. Since this is routinely done by the residents of Beraban village, the welfare of the residents has greatly increased with abundant agricultural harvests and they live with mutual respect.

Legend
According to legend, this temple was built by a Brahmin who traveled from Java, namely Danghyang Nirartha, who succeeded in strengthening the Balinese people's belief in Hinduism and built the Sad Kahyangan in the 16th century. At that time, the ruler of Tanah Lot named Bendesa Beraben felt jealous of him because his followers began to leave to follow Danghyang Nirartha. Bendesa Beraben then told Danghyang Nirartha to leave Tanah Lot. Danghyang Nirartha agreed, but before that he used his strength to move the boulders to the middle of the beach (not into the middle of the sea) and build a temple there. He also changed his shawl into a snake guarding the temple. This snake still exists today and scientifically, this snake is a type of sea snake which has the characteristics of a flat tail like a fish, black color with yellow stripes and has venom 3 times stronger than a cobra snake. Finally, it is stated that Bendesa Beraben became a follower of Danghyang Nirartha.

Renovation

Tanah Lot Temple has been disturbed by abrasion and erosion due to waves and wind. For this reason, the Bali government, through the Bali Coastal Area Security Project, installed tetrapods as wave breakers and strengthened the cliffs around the temple in the form of artificial coral. The area around Tanah Lot is also landscaped considering Tanah Lot's role as a tourist destination in Bali.[1]

Odalan at Tanah Lot Temple
The first renovation was carried out in 1987 as a phase I protection project. At this stage, a two ton wave breaker (tetrapod) was placed in front of Tanah Lot Temple. Apart from that, concrete banks and artificial walls were also built to protect against waves. However, the placement of the tetrapod disturbed the natural beauty and beauty of the surrounding area, so a feasibility study was conducted involving religious leaders and the local community in 1989. The design of the breakwater structure below the water surface and the creation of an artificial reef were made in 1992 and updated again in 1998. Protection The temple began construction around June 2000 and was completed in February 2003 through Japan Bank for International Cooperation (JBIC) loan assistance of IDR 95 billion. The overall work includes the Wantilan, Pewaregan, Paebatan, Bentar Temple buildings, parking area arrangements, as well as road and park arrangements in the Tanah Lot area.

Location

The Tanah Lot tourist attraction is located in Beraban Village, Kediri District, Tabanan Regency, about 13 kilometers south of Tabanan City.
To the north of Tanah Lot Temple, another temple is built on a cliff jutting into the sea. This cliff connects the temple to the mainland and is shaped like a bridge (curved). This temple is called Pura Batu Bolong.

Holiday
Pujawali (Odalan) at this temple is celebrated every 210 days, as is usual at other temples. The fall is close to the Galungan and Kuningan celebrations, precisely on the Holy Day of Buda Wage (Buda Cemeng) Langkir.

Demographics

The majority of the island's residents are Balinese who use Balinese to communicate in daily activities. Apart from that, Indonesian and English are also widely understood. Every year the island of Bali receives a high number of tourist visits, both from domestic and foreign tourists, so that apart from Balinese people, you often find many non-Balinese people, especially in big cities and tourist attractions.

History
The first inhabitants of the island of Bali Archived 04-2021-17 at the Wayback Machine. It is estimated that it came in 3000-2500 BC who migrated from Asia. Remains of stone tools from that period were found in the village of Cekik which is located in the western part of the island. The prehistoric era then ended with the arrival of Hinduism and Sanskrit writing from India in 100 BC. [referral needed]
Balinese culture then received a strong influence from Indian culture, the process of which accelerated after the 1st century AD. The name Bali Dwipa (the island of Bali) began to be found in various inscriptions, including the Blanjong Inscription issued by Sri Kesari Warmadewa in 913 AD and mentioning the word Walidwipa. It is estimated that around this time the Subak irrigation system for rice cultivation began to be developed. Several religious and cultural traditions also began to develop at that time. The Majapahit Kingdom (1293–1500 AD), which was Hindu and centered on the island of Java, established a vassal kingdom in Bali around 1343 AD. At that time almost the entire archipelago was Hindu, but with the arrival of Islam, Islamic kingdoms were established in the archipelago, including led to the collapse of Majapahit. Many nobles, priests, artists and other Hindu people at that time left Java for Bali.

The European who first discovered Bali was Cornelis de Houtman from the Netherlands in 1597, although a Portuguese ship had previously been stranded near Tanjung Bukit, Jimbaran, in 1585. The Dutch, via the VOC, began to carry out their colonization of the land of Bali, but continued to encounter resistance until they reached Bali. At the end of his reign, their position in Bali was not as strong as their position in Java or Maluku. Starting from the northern region of Bali, since the 1840s the Dutch presence has become permanent, initially carried out by pitting various Balinese rulers against each other who did not trust each other. The Dutch carried out major attacks by sea and land against the Sanur area and followed by the Denpasar area. The Balinese, who lost in numbers and weapons, did not want to experience the shame of surrendering, thus causing a war to the death or a bellows war involving all the people, both men and women, including the king. It is estimated that as many as 4,000 people died in the incident, even though the Dutch had ordered them to surrender. Furthermore, the Dutch governors who ruled only a few exerted influence on this island, so that local control of religion and culture generally did not change.
