This is the moment a Czech couple are filmed using the holy water from a Hindu temple in Bali to wash the woman’s bottom in a stunt which has caused outrage in Indonesia.
Czech couple Sabina Dolezalova and her boyfriend Zdenek Slouka filmed the clip at a Hindu temple in the town of Ubud on the Indonesian island of Bali and Dolezalova posted it onto social media.

In the video, the couple can be seen standing together in front of a shrine of holy water in the temple when Slouka goes to put his hand under the running water.
His girlfriend then bends over and lifts up her skirt, with the boyfriend then splashing her behind with the water as she playfully screams.

Local media report the video received a torrent of criticism from Indonesians who were offended by their actions at the holy site.
Local designer Niluh Djelantik called for Bali to become more “selective” in the tourists who visit the destination after watching the clip.
The Czech pair have now uploaded a video apologising for their actions onto social media in the wake of the criticism.
In the clip, the boyfriend says: “Hey, we are so sorry about the video from yesterday. We dishonoured the holy temple and holy water in Ubud and we didn’t know it, so we are so sorry about what happened.”
His girlfriend then says: “Because we had no idea that was some holy water or that there is a holy temple. We really didn’t want to do anything bad, we are so truly sorry. We hope you are going to forgive us and now we are just finding what we can do to fix it.”
It is unclear if the video was reported to the authorities.
