A Torism Object in Nusa Penida The Uniqueness Pura Mobil

Car Pura Nusa Penida Bali - Indonesia ( Golden Egg of Bali ) - Bali is indeed endless to fascinate both domestic and foreign tourists. Apart from cultural diversity and indeed very famous natural tourism, even tours that are 'artificial' are also no less special. One of them is the temple car located in Nusa Penida Bali. More precisely in Bunga Mekar Village, Karang Dawa hamlet, there are several cars that are used as a means for local Hindus to pray. It is indeed not a car that can be driven as a normal car, but this is enough to give a different and unique view than the usual temple. Its function is as 'pelinggih'.

At that location there is a replica of the Jimny which is used as pelinggih Ratu Gede Sakti Hyang Mami. While other cars, namely a Volkswagen, become the pelinggih of followers and their children.

History of Paluang Nusa Penida Temple

Hereditary stories about the history of the Paluang Nusa Penida Temple, it is said, were once a resident of Karang Dawa who wanted to open up plantation land in this place. When the process is done there is a large rock that must be moved to another place. After being moved, the next day the stone returns to its original place and repeatedly occurs. Then there was an insignificant clue to erect a pelinggih in that place which was on a rock hill and next to a very steep ravine. The temple is Pura Paluang.

As time went on, Ida was walking around the temple, namely Ratu Gede Sakti Hyang Mami, asking that the local community make a car, because she had a car in the niskala. Jimmy's car is the pelinggih of Ratu Gede Sakti Hyang Mami. Where in the pelinggih Jimmy car there are 2 statues of the wife's wife that are believed by the local people as a manifestation of Ida Bhatara who is passing by, namely Ida Bhatara Ratu Gede Ngurah and Hyang Mami. While the VW Beatle is the car of his followers or children.

According to the story, at night local residents often hear the roar and horn of a car with bright lights and high speed towards the northwest. But the roar was only fleeting and no longer looked where it had gone. Pelinggih car in Paluang Temple is said to have existed since 300 years ago. Even though the German beatle VW was produced in 1938-2003.
