Tanah Lot

Budha Cemeng Merakih, or Budha Wage is a reocccuring auspicious day for meditation and cleansing the mind of negativity. At this day, which is also known as the day of Sang Hyang Mankik Galih who descended as Sang Hyang Ongkara Mreta to the physical world, the Balinese Hindus pray to Dewa Sang Hyang Sri Nini for prosperity and protection with special offerings. The intended cleansing of the mind starts with a special ceremony called metirtha gocara which is performed with a canang offering and wangi-wangian, sweet smelling incense and flowers at the sangga of the family temple and the plankiran (wall temple) of the bedroom.

Sunset in Tanah Lot is a picturesque view to behold, especially when it is seen from strategic sunset spots such as Enjung Galuh area, Batu Bolong temple and other. Of course when we are talking about sunset, description with a string of words is insufficient, pictures speaks better on this subject, so here are some pictures that captures the magnificence of Tanah Lot’s sunset.
