Description: |
|
Pura Meru is the largest and second-most important Hindu temple
on Lombok. Built in 1720, it’s dedicated to the Hindu trinity of
Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva. The inner court has 33 small shrines
and three thatched teak-wood meru (multi-tiered shrines). The
central meru, with 11 tiers, is Shiva’s house; the meru to the
north, with nine tiers, is Vishnu’s; and the nine-tiered meru to
the south is Brahma’s.
The meru also represent three sacred
mountains, Rinjani, Agung and Bromo, and the mythical Mt Meru. |
