A Glimpse into History and Legend

Tirta Empul Temple, located in Tampaksiring, was built in the 10th century AD by King Mayadenawa. According to local legend, the sacred spring emerged when the Hindu god Indra pierced the earth to create healing water after defeating the evil King Mayadenawa.

As a result, the temple has been used for purification rituals and blessings by Balinese Hindus for over a thousand years.
