The temples name comes from the the sacred spring that flows at the temple. Pura Tirtal Empul has shrines to honor Shiva, Vishnu, The main attraction of Pura Tirta Empul is the large rectangular pool carved of stone where twelve fountains pour the holy spring water into the koi filled waters of the pool. Worshippers from all over the island visit the temple to pray and cleanse themselves in the pool and it can get very busy around important religious holidays. One of such stone Ledge I registered with my camera lens.
