Pura Tirta Empul
THE TAKE
A water temple founded in the year nine hundred and sixty two around a spring that still feeds it, where Balinese Hindus perform melukat, the purification ritual, under a row of carved spouts.
WHY IT’S WORTH IT
1Founded in the tenth century and still fed by the same spring.
2Melukat happens here every day, so you are watching a live ritual and not a reenactment.
3The order of the spouts has meaning, including two that the living skip.
