PURA TERBESAR DAN TERTUA DI LOMBOK ITU BERNAMA PURA LINGSAR | SACRED TEMPLE CALLED LINGSAR

Greetings, explorer. Kamga's exploration of Lombok took him to a Hindu place of worship, a temple. Located in West Lombok, specifically in Lingsar Village, stands this historically named temple: Pura Lingsar Lombok. This temple is indeed one of the largest in Lombok and is frequently visited by tourists. It is a symbol of faith and is often used as a venue for various religious ceremonies. If you're visiting West Lombok to explore the beaches or other destinations, be sure to stop by here to learn about the history of one of the relics of an ancient kingdom. The history of Pura Lingsar Lombok, the largest in Lombok, dates back to 1741, built by the sacred king Ketut Karangasem. This temple represents a fusion of Hindu and Islamic values ​​from Wetu Telu. Therefore, this temple is divided into two areas: the Gaduh Hindu temple in the north and the Kemaliq Weku Telu temple in the south. Lingsar Temple covers an area of ​​26 hectares, a vast expanse that symbolizes the harmony between Islamic and Hindu teachings. The temple remains remarkably pristine and well-maintained. There has never been any conflict within the temple, despite the two differing teachings. The temple still functions as a place of worship for both teachings, and a ritual is held annually. Tourists must wear a yellow sash around their waists as a symbol of respect and to protect the temple's sanctity. The expansive temple grounds offer a unique historical experience dating back to the 18th century. The atmosphere is religious, serene, and reminiscent of a bygone era. Lingsar Temple also features a pond built in honor of the god Vishnu. The 6,230-square-meter pond is called Telaga Ageng. Inside, there are very unique fish. If you don't summon them, they will disappear without showing themselves. However, if you summon them, they will appear. To summon the fish, you can throw a cooked chicken egg into the pond, which will attract the fish. Kamga, accompanied by the pond keeper, tried to summon the fish. Luckily, Kamga was able to lure the fish out after being lured with food. However, only once did the fish emerge from the holes on the side of the pond. Telaga Ageng has nine unique fountains, each gushing into a pond. In the first pond, visitors will see many coins scattered at the bottom. These coins are thrown by guests visiting the temple. It is believed that throwing these coins will bring them good fortune from God. Once again, Kamga was fortunate, as the coins thrown from outside the pond door actually landed in the pond. Tourists and visitors can also visit this temple, even if it's not for worship, but they can explore the pristine and well-maintained temple grounds. This certainly has a religious feel.
