Description: |
|
Located at the north end of the beach at Ampenan, Pura Lingsar
is also Lombok's most important religious site.
The temple
was built in 1714 by Balinese Hindus when they first visited
Lombok. However, Pura Lingsar is not a purely Hindu temple. It
represents a blending of the Hindu tradition with Wektu Telu, a
religion practiced by the Sasak people, Lombok's natives. Wektu
Telu's adherents consider themselves Muslims, but do not follow
many of the religious commandments that more orthodox Muslims
do. They have adopted other beliefs from Hinduism and native
animistic traditions. This dual heritage makes Pura Lingsar an
important symbol of unity among the islands' faiths. |
