Water is an important aspect for Balinese Hindu people. About two weeks ago they're celebrating Melasti Festival, a festival that ended on water (could be sea, river or even lake). There's a place in Bali, at Tampaksiring area called as Tirta Empul. Tirta means water. People came to this place to purify themself on the spring (like in this picture). It's believed that the water in Tirta Empul will purify Hindu people from evil. The legend said that Tirta Empul was created by God Indra, one of the God in Hinduism.
