Batu Bolong Temple, Hindu temple complex on coastal cliffs in Beraban, Indonesia.
Batu Bolong Temple sits on a natural rock formation that juts into the ocean, combining traditional stone structures with open ceremonial spaces. The complex features multiple connected areas built directly into the rock for different religious purposes.
The site originated as a sacred place for the Balinese Hindu community and has maintained its religious purpose across generations. It developed into a key center for local worship and seasonal festivals over time.
The temple serves as a gathering place where local Hindus perform daily prayers and seasonal ceremonies with offerings. You can observe people engaged in ritual practices that follow centuries-old Balinese traditions throughout the year.
The temple is open daily and requires respectful dress, including sarongs and sashes available to borrow on-site. The paths involve stairs and uneven ground, so wear sturdy shoes and be aware that tides can affect access to certain areas.
The temple's name literally translates to 'hollow rock' and refers to the natural cavity within the rock formation beneath the main structure. This opening becomes visible during certain tidal conditions and adds to the natural wonder of the site.
