Banyumulek Art Market (Pasar Seni Banyumulek) is a traditional market in Lombok, famous for its unique pottery and handicrafts. Located in Banyumulek village, this market is the center of Lombok’s pottery-making tradition, where local artisans create beautiful handmade items such as vases, kitchenware, decorative lamps, and traditional Sasak-style ceramics. Visitors can walk through the market, watch demonstrations of pottery-making, and even try shaping clay themselves. The products sold here are not only functional but also carry cultural and artistic value, often decorated with Lombok’s distinctive patterns. The market is a great place to shop for souvenirs while supporting local craftsmen and learning more about Sasak culture and traditional arts.

Lingsar Temple is one of the most unique and sacred temples on Lombok Island, located about 9 km east of Mataram. Built in 1714 by the Balinese King Anak Agung Ngurah, it is a symbol of harmony and unity between different religions and cultures on the island. What makes Lingsar Temple special is that it is not only a Hindu temple but also a sacred place for the Sasak people, who follow Wetu Telu, a syncretic form of Islam unique to Lombok. Within the temple complex, you will find separate areas for Hindu Balinese worship and for the Sasak Muslim community, showing how both religions coexist in mutual respect. One of the highlights of Lingsar Temple is the annual Perang Topat Festival, held in the temple’s courtyard. During this lively tradition, Hindus and Muslims come together to throw ketupat (rice cakes wrapped in coconut leaves) at each other as a symbol of gratitude for blessings, rain, and fertile land.
