Mayura Hindu Temple, in Cakranegara City Of Mataram Lombok

mayura

Mayura Temple

Mayura hindu temple is a legacy of the Mataram kingdom which was built since the 17th century which is located in Cakranegara which is included in the municipality of Mataram, currently a historical and religious tourism destination.

Especially very closely related to the history of the formation of Lombok’s multi-ethnic community, especially the presence of Hindus in Lombok.

Mayura ParkWhich previously began with the arrival of Anak Agung Ngurah Karangasem and his soldiers to expand the kingdom’s territory in Bali.

There is no resistance from the kingdom that has existed in Lombok before as well as the Selaparang kingdom because it is found in East Lombok, even stories from parents when the first troops from Bali came to set foot on Lombok through the west side of Lombok island and had time to camp in the Dasan Agung sub-district.

The name Dasan Agung is taken from the history of his camp, Anak Agung, the Dasan in sasak means place and Agung which is defined by Anak Agung until the word Dasan Agung, which now means “the place of Anak Agung” means camping.

Mayura Park, which used to be called the Kelepug Park, means the sound of water falling because there is a water source coming from the slopes of Mount Rinjani until its name is changed to Mayura, which means peacock because it is said that there are many snakes and a king’s friend from Paskistan.

Advise solutions to overcome the many snakes in the park by bringing peacocks so that snakes can be preyed on by peacocks and this idea is considered successful by the king until the king rewards his friends from Pakistan by making a statue now in the garden resembling the Pakistani news source I got it from the Lombok TV program.

There are still some statues that resemble the Chinese and some other statues, but for more details, let’s come and for more details, we can ask the Local guide there, there is a name, Mr. Agus

Whose posture is big, Mr. Agus will invite you into and invite you to the hall Kambang and from here will be explained about all the objects in the park but actually every visitor must wear a red scarf and how to tie it is not arbitrary depending on status.

If you have a partner or are married the scarf ties must be on the left side of the waist, if it’s still a single, the scarf ties around under the navel and if you already have a candidate you should tie the right waist about the intention of coming to ask Mr. Agus.

The atmosphere is now the most up to date beside the Mayura Park wall, near the parking lot there are many people who market agate which seems to be less attractive because the stone traders putting up a tarpaulin placed on the garden wall also create a traffic jam when city people return from the office where they work.

Lingsar Temple Harmoni Historical Among Hindu Bali And Sasak Islam

Lingsar Temple

“Lingsar temple.” Considering one of Lombok’s tourism slogans in Bali there is no Lombok but in Lombok there is Bali, that is the meaning of a word that means that in Lombok there are many descendants of Balinese Hindu society with Hindu teachings which have developed since 3 centuries ago with the invasion of Karangasem kingdom in Bali to Lombok.

Until now this descendant has become a part of Lombok people who are Hindus who have the style of building houses and places of worship so that visitors can also feel the atmosphere of Bali in Lombok such as the existence of Lingsar temple in Lingsar sub-district, West Lombok regency which is a symbol of harmony between the two religions namely Islam and Hinduism.

Stone which is this symbol if recalculated with the naked eye is always a different number

In this place there are 2 places of worship side by side which consist of temples in the north called Gaduh and in the south there is a building where Muslims worship when Wetutelu and between the two religions tolerate each other.

Including making an agreement not to bring pork food in This place is because it is harm for Muslims and is forbidden to bring food from beef because cows are animals that are considered sacred by Hindus every year between the two sides of Hinduism and Islam when they conduct war ketupat by throwing each other with a diamond as a symbol gratitude for the abundance of fortune given by God for the abundance of crops.

Before entering every object we must first wear a yellow scarf tied to the waist as a symbol of respect, perhaps this is very common to do things like this in every place to enter the temple object because this is always required as we visit the temple in Bali.

After each wear only a yellow scarf on the waist will we go into the temple area inside there is a pond inside which is inhabited by tuna (like eels but large) which is hundreds of years old and is considered sacred and we can see by pulverizing boiled eggs into pond-sized water 6 x 6 meters and in the middle of the pool there is a statue but no guarantee this giant eel will come out only lucky visitors can see it.

Then in this place there is the ritual of throwing coins into the pool by turning the column while praying after each time and then throwing coins into the pool by throwing money back through the top of the head, not infrequently throwing us sometimes into the pool.

Charming Small Islands Surrounding The Island of Lombok

Charming Gili

Talking about the small island that surrounds the island of Lombok is very much, consisting of 43 small islands that surround the island of Lombok (there are still some unknown), for the small island the Lombok people call it ” Gili ” which adorns the sea when we are on the beach.

There are only 13 Gili that are ready to visit but in this case we will discuss only the popular Gili, including 7 Gili, Gili Trawangan, Gili Meno, Gili Air, Gili Nanggu, Gili Tangkong, Gili Sudak, Gili Kedis, Gili Gede, Gili Rengit Gili Kondo, Gili Merengke. Especially the series of the 3 most popular Gili is Gili Trawangan, Gili Meno and Gili Air which are located in the “northwest” of the island of Lombok.

These three Gili are very popular for foreign and domestic tourists, especially among people who like to walk, the most important among the three Gili is Gili Trawangan which has been used as an idol to be visited by Indonesian celebrities.

Even almost all Indonesian celebrities have visited Gili Trawangan for those who want to travel to Gili Trawangan at least prepare a decent budget because whatever we are going to buy must be expensive.

Likewise, Gili Meno is located in the southeast of Gili Trawangan or its position is flanked by Gili Trawangan and Gili Air, Gili Meno among the three Gili Islands is the smallest and has a saltwater lake on the west side of the island but the available accommodations are very a rare.

The road infrastructure that surrounds the island is only a little and does not construct only the footprints of dirt roads even on the west side only consists of white sandy beaches and 100% of the island is surrounded by white sand.

One of the three islands which has a bird park located in the heart of the island, there are no party activities at night, at night it is quieter and suitable for tourists who seek tranquility, but certainly the sea park that deletes this island is more beautiful than Gili Trawangan because the marine park is not disturbed by the existence of boat trips like the ones in the Gili Trawangan.

Gili Air is the source of the origin of the native people of the Gili people who originally were nomadic fishermen from Sulawesi (Bugis) who settled first on this island and developed into a group of large family groups Gili Air is not much different from other Gili (Trawangan and Meno).

Only compared to the two Gili, Gili Air has the best location for snorkeling among the three Gili, especially on the east side of the island where tourists can feed fish or feed fish while snorkeling.

For more details see on other pages of the blog that I have written specifically so that there will be no double writing for that enough I will provide a list of the names of Gili surrounding the island of Lombok but not all of the dyke listed as tourism destinations are just for us to know as an insight into the small islands.
