Tanah Lot Temple & Kecak Fire Dance at Sunset
 

Tanah Lot is a rock formation off the island of Bali. It is home to the pilgrimage Pura (temple) Tanah Lot. The temple has been a part of Balinese mythology for centuries. The temple is one of seven sea temples around the Balinese coast. Each of the sea temples was established within eyesight of the next to form a chain along the south-western coast. In addition to Balinese mythology, the temple was significantly influenced by Hinduism.

Kecak Fire Dance is performed by a circle of at least 150 performers wearing checked cloth around their waists, percussively chanting "cak" and moving their hands and arms. Kecak has roots in sanghyang, a trance-inducing exorcism dance. Combined with this is a dance depicting a battle from the Ramayana, where Hanuman helped Prince Rama fight the evil King Ravana.
