Pura Luhur Poten is an important Hindu temple located in the center of the 'Sea of Sand' (Laut Pasir/Segara Wedi) of Mount Bromo in East Java, Indonesia. It is one of the most sacred centers of belief for the Tenggerese people. The temple is constructed from black volcanic rock and stands on the barren volcanic sand plain at the foot of Mount Bromo and Mount Batok, offering a magnificent and mysterious landscape. This site is not only a must-visit for tourists heading to the Bromo crater but also the core location for traditional rituals such as the annual 'Yadnya Kasada'. For travelers, it showcases a unique blend of East Java's volcanic terrain and local religious culture.
