In 2018, a transformative moment occurred when the landowners immersed themselves in meditation and heard a voice whose source was unclear, but carried profound instructions.

Today, it welcomes visitors from all over the world who are captivated by its beauty and the sense of serenity it offers. Visitors are invited to take part in an ancient purification tradition – “Melukat” – a ritual bath that cleanses not only the body but also the soul.

The benefits of a Balinese purification ceremony are numerous, encompassing physical, mental, and spiritual healing.

Purification Ceremony at Taman Beji Waterfall

Upon arrival at Taman Beji Waterfall, you will change into a sarong and receive a basket of offerings, typically consisting of coconuts, flowers, incense, and biscuits.

The journey begins with a visit to an open area filled with shrines, where you place a handful of offerings. Shoes must be removed before walking along a rocky path to the base of the waterfall. The path features carved rocks, moss, lichen, and echoes of rushing water as you approach the cave entrance.

Before entering the cave, additional offerings are placed at another shrine. The cave itself is lush with hanging vines and plants along the rock walls, creating a wet, humid, yet ethereal atmosphere.

Stage 1: Penglukatan Tamba Sunia (Tamba Sunia Purification)

“Holy water to cure all diseases, bless descendants, bring harmony to relationships, and promote family unity.”

Inside the cave, you will reach the hidden canyon fountain. After placing your final offerings, you stand under the waterfall, then proceed to the holy spring to drink and pray. The secluded nature of this area encourages personal reflection and detachment from the outside world.

Stage 2: Bulakan Rambut Sedana (Spring Water of Rambut Sedana)

“Holy water to seek fortune in life and enhance business, trade, and career prosperity.”

Here, you sit while holy water is poured over your head. Bathing in the spring water symbolizes cleansing, both physically and spiritually, offering a sense of renewal.

Stage 3: Twin Waterfalls of Goddess Gangga

The twin waterfalls offer two unique experiences:

  • The first waterfall is for releasing negative energy, emotions, and mental burdens through crying or shouting.
  • The second waterfall invites positive energy through laughter, singing, dancing, and joyful expression.
Stage 4: Worship of Queen Niang Sakti & Ida Betara Lingsir

“Holy water to ask for blessings: health, fortune, happiness, and all goodness.”

After the waterfalls, you climb carved steps to enter a calm pool. Caution is advised as the rocks may be slippery. Bathing in this pool, alongside koi fish, further refines the purification process.

Stage 5: Coconut Purification by the Priest

The final stage involves cleansing with young yellow coconut water. Under the priest’s guidance, the water is sprinkled on your head, drunk, and then used to wash your face.

This ritual, performed in three stages at each holy spring, symbolizes purity and renewal. A final prayer follows, along with placing rice on the forehead, flowers behind the ears, and white, black, and red cotton thread bracelets worn for protection.

Very nice young man, interesting program.
It was a cultural experience for me and my wife. We traveled for Singapore and it was our first time in Bali. We googled and found that the self cleansing ritual is popular in Balinese culture and we wanted to do it. Our guide, Adi Ketut was friendly and an amazing photographer. He explained in detail what each ritual is for and it all last about 45-60mins. We wish him all the best!

What an amazing experience! After coming to Bali for so many years, I can't believe it took me so long to go for a purification ritual, but I believe that the universe was guiding me to come to this magical place for my first time. Diah was amazing, patient and got some incredible videos and pictures for us. I would've marked 5 stars but the owls chained at the end was sad to see (however I do understand about Balinese superstituions). Would recommend!

I’d recommend to do the purification ceremony! You can tell it’s done for tourists and it’s missing a little bit the essence but it’s worth it if you’re in Bali! It’s very well organized and you just need to bring a swimsuit - they’ll provide with the traditional dress/skirt, towers and lockers to leave your stuff. Complementary drink offer afterwards.
I’d NOT recommend to do the other experiences - I did the open aura and it was disappointing. My healer was on the phone, I couldn’t relax because I was hearing all the other people in their own experiences and it was definitely very pricey!
