Upacara Melaspas esensial bagi umat Hindu Bali sebelum buka usaha baru atau renovasi, untuk netralkan energi negatif bhuta kala dan seimbangkan positif agar bangunan layak huni. Ritual ini memohon Ida Sang Hyang Widhi Wasa untuk keselamatan, kelancaran, dan harmoni lingkungan.
Prosesi bertahap: mecaru (sesajen bhuta kala), tanam orti mudra di empat penjuru, pasang ulap-ulap, otonan (pembersihan), hingga pangurip-urip dengan arang bunga simbol Tri Murti (Brahma-Wisnu-Siwa). Pemangku pimpin doa dan tabur tirtha.
Dilakukan segera setelah selesai bangun, Melaspas cegah sial dan undang rezeki; contoh untuk warung, kantor, atau pabrik.


A wonderful serenity has taken possession of my entire soul, like these sweet mornings of spring which I enjoy with my whole heart. I am alone, and feel the charm of existence in this spot, which was created for the bliss of souls like mine. I am so happy.
my dear friend, so absorbed in the exquisite sense of mere tranquil existence, that I neglect my talents.
I feel that I never was a greater artist than now. When, while the lovely valley teems with vapour around me, and the meridian sun strikes the upper surface of the impenetrable foliage of my trees, and but a few stray gleams steal into the inner sanctuary.
