History Luhur Uluwatu 

In some sources mentioned, around 1489 BC came to the island of Bali a purohita, ecclesiastic and writer named Danghyang Dwijendra. Danghyang Dwijendra a pastor is a Hindu, born in Kediri, East Java. 

Danghyang Dwijendra at the time walaka called Danghyang Nirartha. He married a daughter of Daha, East Java. There he also act in-and diksa by law. Danghyang Nirartha was bhiseka kawikon with the name Danghyang Dwijendra. 

Once in-diksa, Danghyang Dwijendra given the task of implementing dharmayatra as one of the requirements kawikon. Dharmayatra this should be implemented on the island of Bali, with a very heavy task of managing the life of the law and religious tradition, especially on the island of Bali. When it is necessary dharmayatra can be forwarded to the Sasak and Sumbawa Island. 

Danghyang Dwijendra come to Bali Island, first set foot on the fringe of the southwest coast of Jembrana to rest a moment before continuing journey dharmayatra. This is in place Danghyang Dwijendra leave pemutik (there is also mention pengutik) with handles (starch) wood shelf. Pati wood shelf life, and it turns out to be fertile ground to grow trees shelf. Until now leaves used as a wood shelf banten completeness in Bali. As a warning, and reverence for him, dibangunlah a temple which is named Purancak. 

After a dharmayatra to Sasak and Sumbawa Island, Danghyang Dwijendra the southwest end of the southern island of Bali, on the arid region, full of stones called the bebukitan. 

After some time living there, he felt got a call from the Creator Hyang to immediately return amoring acintia Parama MOKSHA. This is where Ida Pedanda Sakti Wawu remind Rauh (icang eling) with Samaya (promise) to return himself to his home. That is where this event called Cangeling and slowly become Cengiling until now. 

Because of that, Pedanda Sakti Wawu Ida Rauh ngulati (find) a place deemed safe and appropriate to do Parama MOKSHA. By because they do not qualify, he moved again to another location. In this place, and then built a temple called the Temple fungus. The name is derived from the word ngulati. Temple is located in the Village Pecatu. 

While running to get the new location that is considered eligible for Parama MOKSHA, Ida Pedanda Sakti Wawu Rauh very sad and crying in batinnya. Why? Because he was not willing to leave this world sekala not be perceived as swadharmanya thoroughly, that is life up in the Hindu religion Sasak and Sumbawa.

In this place, and established a temple called the Temple Diyi stones. Also in this place Danghyang Dwijendra feel less safe for Parama MOKSHA. Travel with a fairly tiring holding hunger and thirst, he eventually arrived in the area that always gets bebukitan sun blazing. Memayungi for themselves, he sebidang take a leaf beetle and trying to get drinking water source. After circling not find the source of drinking water, eventually Danghyang Dwijendra stick tongkatnya. So come out amertha water. Ago in this place was established a temple called Pura Payung the source of water used means tirtha until now. 

Ida Pedanda Sakti Wawu Rauh then go again to another location, to entertain themselves before implementing seconds to return home. Ago in this place was established a temple called Pura Selonding which is located in Banjar Kangin Desa Adat Pecatu. After consoling himself satisfied, Danghyang Dwijendra feel tired. So he find a place to rest. Saking lelahnya-up until he was quiet (bed). Ago in this place was established a temple called the Temple Parerepan (parerepan means pasirepan, lodging place) located in the Village Pecatu. 

Approaching the final seconds to Parama MOKSHA, Danghyang Dwijendra cleanse themselves and mulat sarira first. In this place now stand up to a temple called Pura Pangleburan located in Banjar Adat Pecatu Kauh Village. After the cleanse itself, to continue his journey to the location of the tip of the southwestern island of Bali. This place is made up of stones cliffs. When observed from below the sea surface, visible bertindih each other, sit-shaped head on a stone-stone cliffs, the altitude of between 50-100 meters from the sea surface. With so-called Uluwatu. Ulu Watu and the means means stone. 

Before Danghyang Dwijendra Parama MOKSHA, he called the boat skipper who took him from the island of Sumbawa to Bali. Skipper of the boat named Ki Pacek Nambangan boat. Sang Pandita resort in order to bring the boat skipper and tongkatnya clothes to his wife in the fourth Pasraman in Griya Mas Sakti Banjar Pule, Mas village, Ubud, Gianyar.
