About
Hidden in Ubud, Tirta Empul Temple is a sacred water sanctuary where Balinese Hindus perform spiritual cleansing rituals. Three interconnected pools feature 21 water spouts, each channeling water believed to have healing properties. Visitors can participate in purification ceremonies, moving between 13 western, 2 central, and 6 eastern watercourses. Entry costs 75,000 IDR for adults, with sarongs and scarves provided.
