History
True to its name, this temple has long served as a training ground for purification through the powerful force of cascading water. Ascetics across generations have immersed themselves in waterfall practice, washing away inner weakness and acquiring renewed courage. Those who stand beneath its waters today are enveloped in the upward flow's power, acquiring the strength to overcome life's hardships and obstacles.
