Tanah Lot Temple | Bali, Indonesia Photo Spot
Share this Page
Tanah Lot, one of Bali’s most iconic landmarks, is a Hindu shrine that appears to float on the ocean during high tide. It was reportedly built in the 16th century by Dang Hyang Nirartha, a priest who is said to have founded Bali’s Shaivite priesthood. The rock formation that the temple sits on has been shaped over time by the tides, providing a picturesque contrast between the rugged rock and the powerful, ever-changing ocean. The temple itself, though not accessible to non-worshippers, presents a fascinating silhouette against the setting or rising sun, offering photographers unforgettable images that encapsulate the spirit of Bali. During the low tide, visitors can walk over to the base of the rock, adding another perspective to their photographic collection. This combination of cultural heritage and natural splendor makes Tanah Lot a must-visit spot for photographers visiting Bali.
