Tirta Empul Temple in Bali, Feel The Holy Spring Water!

This temple is always be my favorite temple for melukat. I always melukat in this place, whenever I have a chance. Whenever I melukat in this temple, I always feel like my skin brighter and softer than before. Even though when I spent a lot of time inside the pool, my skin won’t got wrinkle! I don’t know what will happen to you if you want to try do melukat here. but it’s happen to me for real!

This temple is located in Manukaya village, Tampaksiring district, Gianyar regency, Bali, under the President palace. I always see so many tourists visiting this temple. I think it’s because of the view of this temple is really beautiful. You can see the President palace from the temple and a lot of big trees outside even inside the temple. This temple also has a big pond with so many big fishes. I think you also have to prepare food for them, before you go to this temple :D. Not only the beautiful view, the air is also really fresh here. You will calm your mind if you go to this temple.

Before I melukat in Tirta Mpul temple, I brougt offering and prayed in some places. The first place is located under the really big tree. You can find this place just after you enter this temple. Then, I put my stuff like my bag and my spare clothes inside the locker. You can rent a locker here with just Rp 15.000. After that, I brought offering and pray near the pool where I did melukat. Then, I am ready for melukat. When you want to melukat in this temple, you have to start it from left to the right side. We have three pool and each of the pool has different showers in number. And you also have to know that some of the showers is forbidden. Two of the showers in the first pool are forbidden because they are only used for corpse. Also, for the third pool, you have to shower yourself only in the first shower on the left side.

After I finished melukat, I went to the changing room to change my clothes into Balinese traditional clothes. Then, I went to the main temple to brought my offering and prayed to the God. In the main temple you can see the holy spring water directly. It was so beautiful :slightly_smiling_face:

Kembali cerita yang menarik tentang tradisi di Bali, Kak @Salendriii

Tapi saya penasaran, Melukat itu artinya apa, ya? Apakah prosesi ini dilakukan hanya di waktu-waktu tertentu/ada syarat-syarat khususnya? Dan tempat untuk melakukan Melukat apakah hanya di sumber-sumber mata air yang tertentu saja?

Terima kasih sudah berbagi, Kak @Salendriii @. Selalu penasaran dengan tradisi dari kebudayaan yang berbeda :smiling_face::smiling_face:

@iorikun301 biasanya kalo melukat itu di hari suci kak, contoh Purnama atau bulan Mati, dan masih banyak lagi hari2 suci menurut Hindu di Bali, Syaratnya sbnernya gg ada tinggal melukat saja dgn tulus dan sopan. Tapi kalau bisa bawa banten Pejati. Sama2 kak, sangat senang berbagi dan belajar budaya yang berbeda jg jadi bisa lebih mencintai dan menghargai perbedaan di setiap daerah di Indonesia :slightly_smiling_face:
