Visit<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-style-big_icon_good\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container\">\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Wear a sarong and sash to enter the temple<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Skip it if you're on your period \u2014 entry isn't allowed<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bring a canang offering and incense<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Carry small bills (2,000 \/ 5,000 \/ 10,000 IDR)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pack a quick-change outfit<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">A sarong and sash are required for Melukat \u2014 a kebaya top is nice but not essential, a T-shirt works fine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span class=\"swl-marker mark_orange\">(Some temples lend sarongs and sashes on-site.)<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even without doing Melukat, entry is off-limits during menstruation \u2014 worth keeping in mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bring a canang offering as a sign of respect before the ritual \u2014 your guide or driver can usually help you get one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Small bills make things easier for offerings, lockers, and admission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You'll end up soaked down to your underwear, so pack a full change of clothes, plus a towel. Since proper changing rooms are limited, an easy-on, easy-off dress is your best bet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, what do you think? Sudamala Temple has a gentle yet powerful energy all its own \u2014 well worth the visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Quick Info<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table aligncenter\"><table><tbody><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Area<\/td><td>Bangli<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Name<\/td><td>Pura Tirta Sudamala<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Map<\/td><td><a href=\"https:\/\/maps.app.goo.gl\/FTqGMgXKoGg6e4XNA\">Google Map<\/a><\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Admission<\/td><td>20,000 IDR<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Locker<\/td><td>10,000 IDR<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Note<\/td><td>Not open to those menstruating.
