Pura Lingsar, Hindu-Muslim temple in West Lombok Regency, Indonesia.
Pura Lingsar is a temple complex in West Lombok with three distinct main structures arranged across the grounds and surrounded by water features and gardens. The compound sits within rice fields and its layout creates different spaces for worship and contemplation.
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.
A sacred pool on the grounds is home to eels that visitors can feed, and these creatures hold special meaning at the temple. They surface when offered hard-boiled eggs, creating a memorable moment for many who visit.
