What is Melukat?

Melukat is an ancient Balinese healing and cleansing ritual that uses holy water (tirta) to purify body, mind, and spirit. In Balinese Hindu belief, Melukat clears negative energy, emotional burdens, and even bad luck, helping participants feel refreshed, balanced, and protected.

Melukat is ideal for:

  • Those seeking a spiritual reset or new beginning

  • Travelers wanting a unique, authentic Bali experience

  • Visitors interested in healing tours in Bali

  • Guests celebrating milestones or special occasions


6 Sacred Steps of a Melukat Purification Ceremony


1 / Preparation and Offerings

Dressed in traditional attire, participants present canang sari — offerings made of flowers, rice, and incense — at the temple or sacred spring. This honors the deities and sets the spiritual space for the ritual.

2 / Prayer and Intention

Before the cleansing begins, you engage in prayer, setting personal intentions for what you wish to release or invite in. This step helps focus the mind and align with the sacred purpose of the ceremony.

3 / Mantra Chanting

The priest chants sacred mantras, invoking divine energy and creating a meditative, powerful atmosphere during the purification.


4 / Holy Water Cleansing

The priest pours sacred holy water (tirta) over your head and body, often infused with flowers. This symbolizes the washing away of negativity and the invitation of spiritual renewal.
