and Built in 1774 . it is located close to Pura Meru ,
the Biggest Balinese temple in Lombok . Both these

MERU TEMPLE

situated on the town border between Mataram and
Cakranegara. The temple was constructed in the year,
1720 and is dedicated to the Holy Trinity of the Hindus,
Lord Shiva, Lord Vishnu and Lord Brahma. According to
Hinduism, Lord Shiva or Lord Siwa is the Destroyer of
the Universe, Lord Vishnu is the Preserver of the
Universe and Lord Brahma is the Creator of the Universe.

have small Meru shrines, but the shrines of the Holy
Trinity are in the central courtyard. For a somber and
reverential visit to this temple, spend some time in
peace and solitude.
NARMADA TEMPLE
To understand why this temple complex was so important
in the Balinese scheme of things, one has to understand
the place of Mt. Rinjani in Indonesian lives. This is
one of the highest peaks in Indonesia and an active
volcano, the last time it erupted was about two years
ago. The mountain is very revered by the locals and the
crater lake, Seggara Anak Lake, which is just below the
rim is believed to have healing powers, just as the
numerous hot springs which dot the slopes to the
mountain. Here people come from near and afar to offer
offerings to the majestic mountain and the lake in hope
of a cure to their various ailments. Legend has it that
the aged and ailing monarch found it difficult to climb
the mountain and offer his homage.
Narmada Taman Temple Complex lies at six miles east of
Cakranegara and was built in 1727 during the reign of
King Anak Agung Gede Ngurah Karang Asem. It is situated
near the famous Narmada Park. The architecture of this
temple is very interesting as there is a mix of three
distinct styles, Hindu, Islam and Sasak. The whole
outlay is a miniature of the mountain and the crater
lake. Narmada is a sacred river in India and the temple
in the complex, Pura Kalasa, is still the center of
Balinese Pujawali celebration. Pura Kalasa is dedicated
to Lord Shiva. The whole complex is very beautiful and
you can spend some peaceful hours here but the weekends
see hordes of crowds. The visiting hours are from seven
in the morning to six in the evening.
SURANADI TEMPLE
Set in pleasant gardens, is noted for its bubling, icy
cold spring water and restored baths with ornate
Balinese carvings and it has one of the holiest temple
on Lombok.
LINGSAR TEMPLE
Pura Lingsar Temple is Lombok’s holiest temple and it
was built in 1714. It was built by the Balinese when
they first crossed over to the island, but it was also
reconstructed with the help of Sasak Muslims as a symbol
of unity. So this temple blends Balinese Hindu religion
and Wektu Telu religions in one complex. Wektu Telu is
the religion that was practiced by the Lombok natives
before Balinese advent. Pura Lingsar Temple is
interesting on quite a number of counts. The Hindu
temple is in the northern section and the Wektu Telu is
in the southern section of the temple. The northern
section is on an elevated level than the southern
section and such differentiation will definitely make
those interested in Wektu Telu delve even deeper to find
answers to such riddles.
Pura Lingsar Temple, Lombok has a small temple pond.
This pond is enclosed and the temple is dedicated to
Lord Vishnu. The pond has innumerable holy eels which
cannot be seen with just leaning over the water, they
have to be lured out of their hidings with fragments of
hard boiled eggs. There are stalls outside the temple
selling eggs. To enter the temple one has to wear a
sarong or a sash, but it is advisable not to enter any
of the outer buildings. This temple sees some joyous
occasions. Perang Topat is held in mid December every
year, this is a ritual battle where after the costumed
parade, Hindus and Wektu bombard each other with ketupat,
that is, sticky rice in coconut leaves. Therefore a mid
December visit to Lombok will allow one to be a witness
to such festivals.
