Melukat is a cleansing ritual of the mind, body, and spirit using water practiced in Bali.
This ceremony has been passed down through generations among
the Hindu community to the present day.
Spiritual purification in this context means eliminating impurities within oneself.
The term Melukat is derived from Sulukat, the words "su" meaning
"good" and "lukat" meaning "purification"
The Melukat ceremony usually is led by a priest and
involves offerings such as prascita and bayuan, prepared with accompanying mantras,
The individual to be purified is first subjected to mantras by the priest; After the mantra process is completed, the person is bathed with coconut water. Following the coconut water bath, the ritual continues with immersion in a natural springs, natural showers, lake, river, sea, or it can also be done at temples believed to bring blessings.
This ceremony is typically performed during Hindu religious days, such as Purnama, Tilem, and Kajeng Kliwon.
"Water is believed to symbolize Lord Vishnu, one of the Trimurti (the three main deities in Hinduism), as the Preserver God."
"Water holds significant meaning in Hinduism as a means of purification and cleansing, known as *tirtha*. The word *tirtha* comes from Sanskrit, meaning holy water, purity, or purification with water.
In Hinduism, *tirtha* is used to cleanse oneself of impurities and mental defilements.
In Hindu mythology, water is portrayed as the foundation of the world, the basis of life, and the elixir of immortality."
In addition to the Melukat ceremony, which uses water as a medium, some places in Bali also perform Melukat (cleansing) using fire.
The use of fire as the main element in this tradition carries profound meaning, as fire is considered a symbol of purification and transformation in many Balinese beliefs and philosophies.
At Pasraman Kayumanis, regular purification rituals use both water and fire, including the Kunda Agni Ceremony led by a priest.
Fire, by its nature, consumes everything, and it is hoped that it will burn away all impurities of the mind, whether caused by thoughts, words, or actions.
All impurities attached to the layers of the body are burned until they turn to ash.
