Largest and second most important #hindutemple 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 seven-tiered meru to the south is Brahma’s.
The meru also represent three sacred mountains, #Rinjani, #Agung and #Bromo, and the mythical #Mount Meru.
