Well known as Rock Temple, it sits on a large offshore rock. A popular tourist and cultural icon for its beautiful sunset, and tends to get busy in the evening times. Tanah Lot is claimed to be the work of the 15th-century priest Nirartha. It can be accessed by foot during the low tides but non-hindus are not allowed to climb the rocks. A giant snake purportedly protects the temple, which is said to be created from Nirartha’s scarf when he established the island.
