Lingsar Temple
Lingsar temple is sacred not only for Lombok's Hindu Community, but also for local Moeslem and Waktu Telu followers. Built around 1714, it was originally based on the prevailing animist beliefs of the time and some of the original animist statues remain today. This temple has two holy shrines and is the only place on Lombok where all the religions Hindus, Buddhists, and Moslems, come together to pray for prosperity, fertility, irigation and rice.
Perang Topat is an annual festival held at Lingsar and features a ritualized war with rice cakes, which also dedicated as an offering to the Gods.
Lingsar has spring-fed pools within the temple ground and is home to large freshwater eels. Visitors are welcome to accompany a temple priest who will feed them hard-boiled eggs, purchased at nearby stands. Open during the day. Admission and eel feeding by donation.
