"The history of this temple is written in ejection found at Griya Gede Mount Beau Muncan- Karangasem," he explained.
As for the history of this temple, as told by Sudana, during the reign of the Bandana Raja kingdom, on the southern coast of the island of Bali there lived a Bendega (fisherman) named Pan Santeng, who lived daily from his activities as a fisherman at the mouth of a river facing the sea. South Bali. One day, while at sea, it turned out that Pan Santeng had no results at all, and this incident went on for three consecutive days.
Finally on the third day, finally Pan Santeng said his masesangi (vow) promise, if he got fish, he would give pekelem and his prayer was answered.
"So Pan Santeng built a pelinggih on a rock and every day diligently the Bendega delivered devotions at the pelinggih, as he caught more and more catches," continued Sudana.
Until one day, Pan Santeng received word that the shrine was the residence of Ida Brahma Putri from Patni Keniten named Ida Ayu Ngurah Saraswati Swabhawa.

Finally, the Agung Studio was built, and slowly the pelinggih was visited by more and more people from all over Denpasar City and from outside Denpasar. "Especially by traders and fishermen, this temple is a place to ask for grace," he continued.
