Temple of Tirta Empul
Tirta EmpulIndonesia, Ubud Bali
For over a thousand years, Balinese worshipers have made pilgrimages to the Tirta Empul Temple, whose holy spring is said to have been created by Indra (the king of the gods in Hinduism) and has healing powers. Legend has it that when Indra's warriors were poisoned by Mayadanava, he pierced the earth to create a source of immortality and revive them. The inscription of the date of foundation of the temple - 926 has been preserved.
The main attraction is the long rectangular pool, into which water flows from 12 fountains. Believers first make sacrifices in the temple, and then go to the pool to swim and pray. Many collect holy water in bottles to take home. Nearby there are two small pools fed by springs.
The temple is located in the village of Tampak Siring.
