The name Segara Anak means Child of the Sea given to the blue color of the lake reminiscent of the sea. The lake spans across an area of 11 square kilometers and over 2,000 meters above the sea level. It reaches depth up to 230 meters and considered as a holy place, holds a deep-spirituality for the local people.
Every fifth full moon, religious ceremonies are held on this lake. During the rituals, small gold fish are released into the lake to honour the goddess Enjini, the queen and ruler of Mount Rinjani.
