The Paradise named Bali! – Photospiration

March 18, 2017 Ashwin Leave a Comment

Uluwatu, Bali

When everyone in my circle was raving about Bali, I was very skeptic.  In several instances, I have the experience of visiting over-hyped destinations and come back gravely disappointed.  But Bali is an exception.  The moment I boarded the return flight, I knew I will come here again.

This is the first post in Photospiration series.  The objective is to inspire you to visit a destination through the photos I take.  Nothing more, nothing less.

Petitenget Temple, also known as ‘Pura Petitenget’, is a red brick and sandstone temple in the Seminyak region.  Historically, this is one of the temples built in the 16th century to protect the island territory.  The temple is just a short walk from the popular Seminyak beach.

Seminyak beach and bars in the region make it perfect for nightlife. Here is a sunset shot with the tourists making a silhouette.

Tanah Lot (Pura Tanah Lot) is a temple made out of natural rock formation along Bali’s coast. It is claimed to be the work of 16-th century monk who believed it to be a perfect spot to worship Balinese sea gods. The temple is believed to be guarded by venomous snakes to ward off evil spirits and also a giant snake. Read more about Tanah Lot here.

Uluwatu temple (Pura Uluwatu) is another Balinese coast temple. It is build on top of a high cliff projecting into the sea. When you visit this temple, beware of monkeys and protect your stuff!
