Tirta Empul temple ((インドネシア語:Pura Tirta Empul)) is a Hindu Balinese water temple located near the town of Tampaksiring, Bali, Indonesia. The temple compound consists of a ''petirtaan'' or bathing structure, famous for its holy spring water, where Balinese Hindus go to for ritual purification. The temple pond has a spring which gives out fresh water regularly, which Balinese Hindus consider to be holy or ''amritha''.〔 Tirta Empul means Holy Spring in Balinese. ==Construction of the temple== Tirta Empul Temple was founded around a large water spring in 962 A.D. during the Warmadewa dynasty (10th-14th centuries). The name of the temple comes from the ground water source named "Tirta Empul". The spring is the source of the Pakerisan river. The temple is divided into three sections: Jaba Pura (front yard), Jaba Tengah (central yard) and Jeroan (inner yard). Jaba Tengah contains 2 pools with 30 showers which are named accordingly: Pengelukatan, Pebersihan and Sudamala dan Pancuran Cetik (poison).〔(Pura Tirta Empul ), babadbali.com〕 The temple is dedicated to Vishnu, another Hindu god name for the supreme consciousness Narayana.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.buravi.com/place/noted/pura-tirta-empul.html )〕 On a hill overlooking the temple, a modern villa was built for President Sukarno's visit in 1954. The villa is currently a rest house for important guests.
