The Melukat Water Blessing
Purity and healing found at Tirta Empul Temple
For generations the Manukaya Let community have preserved and protected the Tirta Empul temple and its revered natural springs. To form a deeper connection to this sacred area, join one of the village storytellers in one of Amandari’s signature experiences, a dawn Melukat Water Blessing ceremony performed for centuries to wash away stresses and rejuvenate the spirit.
The Experience
Before crowds form at this famous ancient water temple. Aman guests are invited to receive personal morning blessings in its revered bathing pools. Guided by spiritual healers and a village storyteller, such purification ceremonies can be dated back to 926AD. Tirta Empul itself means ‘holy spring that arises from the ground’ and is a symbol of Bali’s enduring devotion to the healing power of water.
