Mount Baru Jari.
Gunung Baru is the name of the new volcano which emerged in the
center of Segara Anak Lake. People believe that Gunung Baru is the
navel of Mt. Rinjani. That is why if Gunung Baru erupted it will not
harm the people of Lombok unless the eruption is from the peak of
Mt. Rinjani.
Segara Anak Lake
Segara Anak Lake is so wide it appears like the sea with its blue
water. The name Segara Anak means child of the sea. Segara Anak Lake
holds various mysteries and invisible power.
* The Peak of Rinjani
The people of Lombok believe that the peak of Mt. Rinjani is where
Dewi Anjani, the queen spirit and ruler of Mt. Rinjani lives. To the
south-east from the peak in a sea of dust called Segara Muncar is
the invisible palace of the queen Dewi Anjani and her followers.
