The History of Tanah Lot

The history of Tanah Lot Temple Bali Indonesia is based on a 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 Java to Bali.

At that time the ruler on the island of Bali was King Dalem Waturenggong. He very much welcomed the arrival of Dang Hyang Nirartha in carrying out his mission, so that the spread of Hinduism managed to reach remote villages on the island of Bali.

In the history of Tanah Lot, it is narrated that Dang Hyang Nirartha saw a holy light from the southern sea 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 the village of Beraban was led by the Bendesa Beraban Sakti, who strongly opposed the teachings of Dang Hyang Nirartha in spreading Hinduism. Bendesa Beraban Sakti, adheres to the flow of 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 the existence of Dang Hyang Nirartha from his meditation place.

According to the history of Tanah Lot, based on the legend of Dang Hyang Nirartha, he moved a rock (his place of meditation) 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, the Bendesa Beraban Sakti acknowledged the supernatural powers of Dang Hyang Nirartha by becoming his followers to embrace Hinduism along with all the local residents.

It is said in the history of Tanah Lot, before leaving the village of Beraban, Dang Hyang Nirartha gave a keris to the village of Beraban. The keris has the power to eliminate all diseases that attack plants.

The keris is kept in 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 improved with abundant agricultural crops and they live with mutual respect.
