Tirta Empul temple and purification ritual – Half day
$40.00 - $130.00
Immerse yourself in a true Balinese experience : visit the beautiful Tirta Empul temple and purify you body and soul under the holy fountains. The temple is dedicated to Vishnu, another Hindu god name for the supreme consciousness Narayana. On a hill overlooking the temple, a modern villa was built for President Sukarno’s visit in 1954. The villa is currently a rest house for important guests. Tirta Empul Temple was founded around a large water spring in 962 A.D. during the Warmadewa dynasty (10th-14th centuries). The name of the temple comes from the ground water source named “Tirta Empul”. The spring is the source of the Pakerisan river. The temple is divided into three sections: Jaba Pura (front yard), Jaba Tengah (central yard) and Jeroan (inner yard). Jaba Tengah contains 2 pools with 30 fountains which are named accordingly: Pengelukatan, Pebersihan and Sudamala dan Pancuran Cetik (poison).
