Mataram, Provincial capital in West Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia.
Mataram spreads across the western coast of Lombok island, comprising three connected urban areas: Ampenan port, administrative center, and Cakranegara commercial district.
The Dutch forces took control of Mataram in 1894, establishing administrative buildings and infrastructure systems that remained until Indonesian independence.
The Sasak population forms the main ethnic group in Mataram, maintaining their traditional practices while coexisting with Balinese, Chinese, and Arab communities.
The city functions as the primary transportation hub of Lombok, with an airport, seaport at Ampenan, and road networks connecting to all regions of the island.
Mataram houses the Meru Temple, featuring nine ascending roofs that represent the sacred Mount Meru in Hindu mythology.
