Pura Lingsar, Hindu-Muslim temple in West Lombok Regency, Indonesia.
Pura Lingsar is a temple complex in West Lombok containing two religious buildings: the Hindu Pura and the Kemaliq, a sacred site for Wetu Telu Muslims. The grounds also hold three large ponds and a public bath. The complex once covered 40,000 m², but only half remains today.
Built in 1714 under royal patronage, the temple emerged during a period when the region experienced multiple religious influences coming together. Over time it became a space where different faith communities chose to worship.
The temple serves both Hindu and Muslim worshippers, reflecting a shared spiritual life in this part of Lombok. You can see how people from different faith backgrounds gather here together and perform their own rituals side by side.
Visitors need to wear traditional sarongs and sashes when entering the grounds, with rental options available at the entrance. Comfortable shoes are helpful since you will walk through the compound and navigate different levels throughout the site.
The complex once covered 40,000 m², but only about half remains after surrounding land was taken over. Within the grounds stand two religious buildings, Pura and Kemaliq, alongside three large ponds and a public bath. The name Lingsar comes from Sasak and means "clear revelation from God".
