Sunset at Tanah Lot is an experience that is enjoyed by almost every visitor to Bali. This temple, Pura Pakendungan, was erected to honor the arrival of the Hindu priests to the island of Bali at this spot in the 16th century by the priest Danghyang Nirartha. The name is Tanah which means isle and Lot which means sea. It was erected on a large rock outcropping that is not accessible at high tide. It is used as the main Hindu Temple by the local people of Tabanan, the local regency, and is the sight of many local ceremonies. Sunset is a spectacular event that frames the temple in a surrounding of the blue Indian Ocean and a glowing backdrop. It is said to be guarded by holy sea snakes, which are available for viewing in a nearby cave on the beach.
The temple at sunset is one of the most famous photographed icons in Asia.
