This photo is of Tirta Empul Temple (Pura Tirta Empul in Bahasa), a Hindu temple in the middle in Bali where people go to purify themselves with holy water. The day I was there, it was rainy–very wet–and that didn’t matter. It only added to the beauty of the experience and the photos.
Those who played this round of the Trippy Travel Photo Game followed these steps…
1. Look at the Photo/Study the Details
2. Guess what/where!
What is it? Where was I traveling when I saw it? (You must answer both to win–or come very close!)
3. Use the clue/s.
Clue 1: This is not off the beaten path.
Clue 2: It was a rainy day when I shot this photo. But even it hadn’t been, there still would have been water in it.
4. Check back later!
–Post your guesses here in the Comments Section (tweets and FB comments don’t count–sorry)
–Keep checking and guessing as the guessing gets good…
–See who won…maybe it will be you!
The prize?
A mention of your name and a link to your site from within this post.
And the winner is…
Jessica of Notes of Nomads! She nailed it–even spelled the name right. 
Congratulations to her!
We also have a runner-up. That’s Estrin of Chubbybene. She guessed Ubud, which is pretty darn close. Congrats to her, too!
Thanks to everyone for playing!
The answer: Tirta Empul Temple (Pura Tirta Empul)
Tirta Empul, aka Tampak Siring Temple, is a holy water temple that is built around a spring. It’s located at Tampak Siring Village, less than 1/2 hour from Ubud. Many Balinese participate in sacred ritual bathing, known as Melukat, at this site.
The day I went, it was raining, but it was still amazing to see. There were many ‘offerings’ there–the flower petals and other items used as gifts to the gods (to ward off evil). They were everywhere, including in the water.
Can’t get enough?
