16th century · 16th century

Tanah Lot is a Hindu sea temple on a rock just off the south-west coast of Bali, Indonesia, cut off from the shore at high tide. Tradition credits its foundation to the 16th-century priest Dang Hyang Nirartha, and it is one of the island's chain of sea temples dedicated to the guardian spirits of the sea.
