Origin of Tanah Lot Temple
During 16th century, Dang Hyang Nirartha used to visit south coast and on one of his travels, he saw a beautiful rock island setting. He decided to spend some time at the island, and before leaving the island he asked the fishermen to construct a shrine on the rock. Dang Hyang Nirartha felt the island was very holy and suggested there should be a shrine devoted to Balinese sea gods there.
In 1980s, the temple started to break down. So, the Japanese government gave a loan to the government of Indonesia for conserving the temple.
