Pura Tirta Empul owes its existence to a holy water source from which derive several legends and myths. All these stories are about the king of gods Indra, who acted here as a benefactor. Thus, the water here is said to have healing properties. From an inscription the site can be dated in 962 AD. The temple owes its current state to a complete renovation made in 1969 when shrines and pavilions were added. Since then, the system is constantly renewed.
The special feature of this temple are surely the various tanks with their different meanings from their arrangement and their position to one another, the actual holy water source is in the in the North-East while the other onea are south of it, ranked in order of importance from East to West.

The complex consists of several courtyards laid out in a spacious park. The temple is divided into two areas, to the West entered through a covered gate there is a courtyard which houses several pavilions that serve to more mundane purpose and a large pool with golden fishes fed by the visitors, a kitchen and in addition the kulkul tower.

The second area (East), the most important, is entered through a split gate (Candi Bentar) flanked by two small 'bales'. Inside there are the various pools fed by the sacred spring.
First there are the two long rectangular ritual bathing pools, one for men and the other for women, with at the eastern end a small pool fed by five spouts which represent the five holy water springs. The two ritual pools have 30 water spouts in a row from East to West and facing South, each one with its own name, such as Pengelukatan, Pebersihan Sidamala, and Cetik (the poisonus one).
