Luhur Pura Tanah Lot in Bali

After visiting at the Garuda Wisnu Kencana Cultural Park, I immediately go to the Pura Tanah Lot. According to information I got from various media and sources, this place there is the legend of a priest travel stories from East Java. It will be my review on this journey.
Pura Tanah Lot is located in the village Beraban ie 13 km west of Tabanan, and always made as a tourist attraction that must be visited. Actually this place as most good momentum when the Sunset. One more that needs to observe the unique location of the temple is located on the hill boulder seafront. At low tide, and the height not more than knee-length, we can cross to the place.
With admission Rp.7.500, -/orang for domestic tourists and USD. 10.000, - for foreign tourists, making this place more ramai.Di places to check ticket, early entry ... there are lots of sellers sourvenir. Heart - heart if you want to shop, because here is very expensive. Do not forget to always bargain.
According to a source that I got, this place is a travel story of a priest named Dang Hyang Nirartha originating from East Java who headed eastward to spread the teachings of Hinduism. Until one day, Dang Hyang Nirartha arrived at a beach with a small island in the middle of the sea with parangan soil and rocks hard at the bottom. Resting place was the preacher and soon came a few fishermen who brought the god to the priest. Later in the same place, Dang Hyang Nirartha convey the teachings of Hinduism and suggested the surrounding community to build a shrine on the island where he was staying. Then, when the priest died, the community built the shrine on the island by the name Luhur Pura Tanah Lot, which means the land in the Middle Sea.

Not just anyone can get into the temple. The tourists only allowed to see from under the temple. Only certain people are concerned about to perform the ritual prayer or religious activities are allowed entry into the temple.
