Full Moon Ceremony: A time to cleanse

Tirtha Empul is one of Bali's sacred Hindu temples attracting locals island-wide. Holy water flows from the sacred springs filling pools for bathing and purifying. According to local belief, the spring was created by Warrior God Indra who pierced the earth and created a fountain of immortality to revive her poisoned army. Thus, the waters now serve as a source for purification, ridding oneself of bad luck and helping to succeed in the future.
