Mengening Temple Tampaksiring

The place of melukat ( rituals to cleanse and purify the body, mind, and soul) at Mengening Temple is in the Tampaksiring area. 

So far, we may only know Tirta Empul Temple in Tampaksiring as a place for melukat. 

This is because the place of melukat at Tirta Empul Temple is indeed very famous and has even become one of the most crowded tourist attractions visited by both domestic and foreign tourists. 

However, the melukat place in Tampaksiring is not only that, there is also a melukat place at Mengening Temple. 

According to local residents, the history of Mengening Temple is said to have been discovered in the 11th century ago, its existence has existed since the days of the Masula Masuli kingdom led by Pejeng. 

So you could say this temple building is classified as a very ancient building but is still well maintained to this day.

This ancient building must be preserved so that its noble value does not fade and is not consumed by time. 

The discovery of this temple is unknown when, this is what makes the local government of Bali Province formalize it as a cultural heritage that must be preserved.
