| Pantai Ngobaran
is a really tiny beach where people don't go swimming. The area surrounding
it is what draws lots of people. The first time I visited it, about three
years ago, there was none of the kitschy clutter of tourism that you can
see in the photo. Fortunately, there is a lot here besides the tourism clutter.
(This photo was taken from inside the Hindu temple compound, which you can
see in following photos.) |

| There are two historical
structures in this area surrounding tiny Ngobaran Beach. One is a recently
built memorial to Prabu Brawijawa V, the last ruler of the Majapahit
Kingdom, who committed suicide by self-immolation because his son, who
founded a new Kingdom in opposition to his father, was coming to convert
the father to Islam, which was beginning its takeover of Java. The other
structure is the original Hindu temple that the memorial is part of. See
the next photo for further information. |

| This is a zoom of
the previous photo. In the lower half of the photo is the memorial to
Prabu Brawijawa V, built in 1981.
In the upper half of the photo
is the original, much older Hindu temple Pura Segara Wukir. Hindu ceremonies
and practices are performed on the beach below. |

Inside
the structure on the left is the figure that you can see in the photo
