Tirta Empul Temple, Hindu water temple in Tampaksiring, Indonesia
The temple features two bathing pools with thirty water spouts flowing from natural springs into rectangular basins made of stone.
Dating from 962 AD during the Warmadewa dynasty, the temple was constructed around a natural spring that feeds the Pakerisan river.
The temple serves as a center for Melukat, a Hindu-Balinese purification ritual where devotees immerse themselves in the spring waters.
Visitors need to wear traditional sarongs, available for rent at the entrance, and follow specific rules when entering different temple sections.
The natural spring continuously produces fresh water through thirty spouts, each designated for different spiritual cleansing purposes.
