The Legend of Tirta Empul the holy spring temple:

According to Usana Bali's book, which recorded the legend of historical sites in Bali, the Tirta Empul temple was built during the reign of Sri Masula Masuli at 962 AD.

The Balinese believe that there is a God who is the soul of the universe. They also believe in the deities, that is, all the high manifestations of God who have the task of organizing this universe to run according to the will of the creator. All puja is devoted to his greatness and abundant gifts.

In addition to providing puja, many traditions are carried out by Balinese residents in order to get the ease of life and be kept away from any problems in life. One of them is the ritual purification ceremony held in the holy baths which are believed to have magical abilities to help with health, economic, and other life problems.

Tirtha Empul Temple is one of the places visited by visitors who want to get purified themselves. There are 3 pools used for the ritual. Each pool consists of several head showers, where each head shower has a different function. There are showers to help with physical and psychological healing, there are showers to overcome economic problems, there are showers to reduce oaths and curses and most importantly, it is called Tirta Empul shower to ask for hope or fulfill the wishes of a happy life.

All these head shower water flowing from a water source, the spring water located in the main courtyard of the temple. According to legend, this water source was poisoned by a powerful giant who fought with Lord Indra named Mayadanawa. Mayadenawa considers himself a god and is hostile to Lord Indra, the ruler of heaven. Then Indra came to earth and blessed this Tirta Empul water source to be normal again. Since then, Indra was honored by Tirta Empul as the patron deity of the Bali people. The visitors who come to purify themselves, worship the greatness of God through the blessing of Indra.
