Tanah Lot Temple, another revered Hindu sanctuary in Bali, perches dramatically atop a rock formation along the coastline of Beraban Village, within the jurisdiction of Kediri District in Tabanan Regency. The origins of Tanah Lot Temple are intertwined with a legend dating back to the 16th century, featuring a Javanese brahmin named Danghyang Nirartha, who is also known as Danghyang Dwijendra or Pedanda Sakti Wau Rauh.

Legend has it that Nirartha succeeded in winning the hearts of the Balinese populace, leading them to embrace Hinduism. This transformation didn't sit well with Bendesa Beraban, the ruling authority of Tanah Lot, especially since many of his followers converted to Nirartha's teachings. Consequently, Bendesa Beraban compelled Nirartha to depart from Tanah Lot due to a growing sense of rivalry and apprehension.
