The Balinese Hindus purification ceremony, known as Melaspas, is to purify the land and the new building which was conducted by series of offerings and prayers led by Balinese’s temple priest. This ceremony is a form of Balinese Hindus compliance to seek the blessing of the Almighty and to ensure the delicate balance between mankind, nature, and the Gods.
The ceremony was attended by supporting partners such as project developers, property owners, and all Astadala staffs. As the end of melaspas ceremonial series, Komang Astawa, the managing director of Astadala Hotel Management, accompanied by one of the property owners, inaugurated the hotel with a pecah kendi ritual, an act of breaking the clay jug, as it symbolized and officially marked the opening of The Bene.
