Pura Trita Empul, The Temple Of The Holy Water 20April

As we descend from Kintamani, we dropped by Pura Trita Empul which was somewhere between Kintamani and Ubud, at Tampak Siring district. Pura Trita Empul means the Temple of The Holy Water, yeah it sounds like some Indiana Jones movie. What’s exquisite about this temple is the streaming of holy water that is so crystal clear despite numerous Hindu devotees and visitors bathing in it.

Everyone seems to be praying and bathing openly here. Sacred place so you got to keep your witty comments to yourself. Tengku told me that this used to be where the fair maidens bathe and the King chose his concubines. Hmm how true that story is, I don’t know. Anyone care to explain?

The exit was definitely different from the entrance and we had to walk through a mini market that sold souvenirs. I got a batik sarong for Mummy and a batik shirt for Daddy. Fiq came by to counter the sale and we got bulk discount, well he got more friends so he bought fairly more than me.
