Purify Your Body and Your Mind Under The Waterfall

As one of the Manusa Yadnya ceremonies, rituals related to the various stages of a human’s life, melukat is derived from the word lukat taken from the ancient Balinese-Javanese language Kawi, which means dibersihkan, ngicalang in ordinary Balinese language, or to cleanse and purify in English. For Balinese Hindus, melukat ritual is a symbolic and literal cleansing of the body and soul aimed at preventing misfortune and bad luck, including sickness or havoc caused by daily activities and sins.
