If you visit Bali Island,
you may go to take a bath at the twin-well sacred place. The water of the wells
is able to wash all the bad luck or black magic. It is some kind of a ward off
evil ritual.
The journey is rather challenging
after you reach Sumbersari village. You need at least 10 minutes to pass
through the woody area before you arrive at the destination. On the way, you
will see Segera Rupek or Tirta Empul holy water temple. After that, there is
the road sign which shows the way to the twin-well sacred place.
It is close to the beach and Tirta Empul
holy water temple in Gilimanuk village. The locals usually go to the twin wells
to wash their bad luck by taking a bath. Many timber thieves who lost their way
and reached the temple became religious after taking a bath with the holy
water.
According to the janitor, most
people come to the sacred place to hope that they will be able to meet their
soul mates by washing their faces and bodies with the water from the wells. Many
of them do hope that they will make a lot of money after taking a holy bath.
The bathroom is divided into two
parts, one is for lady and the other is for gentleman. Most of the visitors are
women. Men go there only to seek gemstones, such as amethyst, emerald and ruby.
After taking a holy bath, the
janitor will advise you to go home quickly. You should avoid chatting with
others and don’t stay there too long. Otherwise, you will be asked to leave
immediately because the janitor worries that you will stay forever and your
life will completely depend on the alms given by others.
