Pancoran Solas Taman Bali is one of the spiritual sites located on the island of Bali, an island in Indonesia known for its culture, tradition and natural beauty. Pancoran Solas is one of the important melukat places for Balinese people, especially Hindus who are believed to cleanse themselves of sins, diseases and negative energy. One of Bali's many cultural treasures, Pancoran Solas has a deep history. The word "Solas" in Balinese means eleven. This refers to the eleven pancoran of holy water that exist in this place. According to legend, the pancoran comes from a holy spring that is considered to have the spiritual power to cleanse one's spirit and mind. Melukat culture has long been an important part of Balinese life, especially Hindus. Melukat is a self-cleansing ritual performed to eliminate sins, mistakes, and negative energy. Pancoran Solas Taman Bali is one of the places chosen for its calming natural beauty and powerful spiritual energy.

The beginning of the discovery of Pacoran Solas Taman Bali was due to an 8th Balinese King entitled Dalem Dimade who fled due to a rebellion in the Gelgel Kingdom. Dalem Dimade took refuge in a wilderness where there was a common spring. After the King found the spring and then made it a place for people to take water according to their needs. The springs used by the community are 2 points. Namely under Padma and next to Padma. What is usually used for melukat is 11 pancoran next to Padma. While those that are usually used as baths are below which is far from Padma. Pancoran Solas Taman Bali is located in a village namely Guliang Kangin Village which has its own meaning. Derived from Guh which is making or causing and Liang means happy. Pancoran Solas is believed to be able to help healing, starting from the story of the community, that King Dalem Dimade, felt healed, comfortable and calm after he bathed in the water in this pancoran.

Jro Hyang as the stakeholder in Pancoran, said that many devotees have experienced spiritual experiences. Not only ordinary spiritual experiences, things that are beyond the human head have also been experienced by Pemedek who Tangkil. Such as screaming by themselves after melukat, vomiting after drinking water from Pancoran, seeing strange creatures after melukat and many more.

The benefits of melukat in Pancoran are numerous. Starting from ordinary diseases to delivery diseases and requests for offspring. Jro Pemangku in this pancoran told me that there was a pemedek who once Tangkil in this pancoran was cured of his illness. This pemedek had visited Pancoran Solas twice with various complaints and when the pemedek came back, he told me that he had recovered. Then there is a married couple who have been waiting for offspring for 8 years, when they melukat at Pancoran Solas Taman Bali and make their wishes, not long after that, they immediately get offspring.

Both for pemedek or local residents, must pass more than 100 steps in order to get to the pancoran.
