Indonesia — Lombok; More on Pura Suranadi


Pura Suranadi

Today we continue our visual tour of Pura Suranadi, a Hindu temple site on Indonesia’s island of Lombok. And since they say a picture is worth a thousand words, I’ll be giving you about eight thousands words’ worth to enjoy. But before I present those final six photos in today’s photo gallery/slide show, I want you to meet our greeter to this religious site:

Indonesia — Lombok; Narmada Park and Pura Suranadi


Narmada Park

Our next two tour destinations on Lombok were Narmada Park and Pura Suranadi Temple, both of which we’ll look at today. Narmada Park dates back to 1727. Built by King Anak Agung Ngurah Karangasem, this site was designed as a tranquil royal retreat. The park has a wellspring that is still considered by some to be a “Fountain of Youth”

Narmada Park

The royal family had many comfortable areas from which to enjoy the surrounding views:

And what views they are, including the park’s and terraced lawns.
