Worshippers splashed with holy water

Holy water is an essential element of Balinese life.
The worshipper women get splashed with the holy water called Tirma Penglukatan over the whole body.
Holy Water or Tirtha has been a part of Balinese daily life since forever; even Bali Hinduism is also known as “Agama Tirtha” or the religion of holy water. It believes to have high power such as: healing the sick, cleanse impurities, warding off evil or demonic forces and many more.
Holy water also needed in religious events performed in personal houses to public temples. Holy water is water sourced from sacred places and has been blessed by an holy priest.
