In Bali there is a temple located in Tampaksing. This temple is a Holy Springs temple called Tikta Empul.
The Hindu customs giving gifts of incense and flowers and food to the gods is a beautiful ritual. Seeing this family in prayer in their traditional white depicts the elegance, grace and togetherness of the people.

This is a prayer pool in the Holy Springs temple Tikta Empul. The people go and pray under the water spouts. If you need something healed you bathe in one section and if you have done something wrong to someone you bathe in a different section. I guess it is sort of like a purification process. Pretty interesting to experience. I like balance of the focal point on the child sitting on the edge of the pool in comparison to the crowd of people lined up waiting patiently to perform their prayer.
