Pura Batu Bolong

Pura Batu Bolong

Pura Batu Bolong is the oldest Hindu Temple in Lombok and predates Balinese occupation on the island by about 200 years.

It was built in 1533 by the East Javanese rishi (wise man) Dang Hyang Dwijendra.

Dwijendra was a prominent religious figure in his time and founder of Shaivite Hinduism which is the primary form of Hinduism practiced in Bali to this day.

Pura Batu Bolong is located 12km from Mataram near the beach town of Senggigi. It is built on a rocky coastal outcrop and enjoys stunning sunsets and views back to Mt Agung on Bali.
