Bali also presents temples which has a special attraction for you. Temples in Bali generally serves as a place to pray for Hindus people. Several temples in Bali also serves as a place for ‘Melukat’ (ablutions). There are many temples in Bali which has a holy spring that serves as a place for ‘Melukat’. One of the many temples known as a place of ablutions named Tirta Empul Temple.

Yesterday i was visited Tirta Empul Temple. Located in Manukaya Village, Tampaksiring, Gianyar Bali. According to local people, name of Tirta Empul Temple taken from the springs called Tirta Empul which when it defined is a water that gushes from the ground. So Tirta Empul is holy water that gushes out of the ground (holy spring).

To get to the holy spring, first I had to pass through the outside part of the temple. Here there are many statues that decorated by garden of lush tropical plants. In the middle of the garden there are path that lead me to ‘Candi Bentar’, which is the entrance to the temple. After passed the entrance, finally I was arrived at the middle part of the temple.

Here there are rectangular pool which has approximately 30 pieces showers that lined from east to the west with clear water flows from each showers. It made me impatient to showers here. But before I was showers, there are main requirement, I was must used ‘Kamen’ (Balinese Sarong).

I was felt my body is so light and calm after one hour showers. This proves that, in this pool really contained holy water. That’s my little experience while visiting Tirta Empul Temple, and I really want to visit this temple again.
