The Art of Purification

At Tanah Gajah Ubud, we honor the sacred tradition of Balinese purification ceremonies, offering two unique experiences tailored to personal spiritual journeys. These age-old cleansing rituals are deeply rooted in Bali’s Hindu culture and are designed to purify the mind, body, and soul. Whether you seek a serene temple blessing within our resort or an immersive purification at an ancient holy spring, each experience is guided by a Hindu priest and performed with deep reverence and authenticity. We invite you to embark on this spiritual journey and choose the purification ceremony that resonates most with you.


SACRED BLESSINGS: A TEMPLE PURIFICATION RITUAL

Step into the spiritual heart of Tanah Gajah Ubud, where a serene purification ceremony awaits at our resort’s private temple. Guided by our resident Hindu priest, guests will learn the essence of Balinese prayers, using fragrant flowers, incense sticks, and traditional offerings. The ritual concludes with a sacred blessing, as holy water is gently sprinkled over the head—a symbolic cleansing of mind, body, and soul. This intimate experience offers a peaceful moment of reflection and cultural immersion.


ECHOES OF THE ANCIENTS: A HOLY SPRING PURIFICATION 

Journey to the ancient sacred waters of Petirtaan Ki Pasung Grigis in Tengkulak Village, a revered site steeped in history and spiritual energy. Discover the legends of the Twin Temples before partaking in a profound purification ritual beneath three sacred fountains. This immersive experience, guided by a local Hindu priest, blends history, nature, and spirituality—offering a deep sense of renewal and connection.
