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.

After the 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 came to Bali Island, first set foot on the southwestern fringe of the beach area Jembrana for a moment of rest before traveling dharmayatra. This is in place Danghyang Dwijendra leave pemutik (there is also mention pengutik) with rod (core) 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 Hyang get a call from the Creator to be back soon amoring acintia Parama moksha. This is the place in Ida Pedanda Sakti Wawu remind Rauh (icang eling) with Samaya (promise) to return him 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, Pedanda Sakti Wawu Ida Rauh very sad and crying in batinnya. Why? Because he was not willing to leave this world sekala because swadharmanya not thoroughly enjoyed, the life up in the Hindu religion Sasak and Sumbawa. Where he mengangis this, and established a temple called the Temple Ngis (origin of the word mourning). Ngis this temple is located in the East Village Banjar Adat Pecatu.

Ida Pedanda Sakti Wawu Rauh not also find places that are considered appropriate for Parama moksha. He then arrived at a place full of stones. He was only alone. In this place, and established a temple which is named Pura Batu Diyi. Also in this place Danghyang Dwijendra feel less safe for Parama moksha. Travel with a quite 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 conducting 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 rocks in cliffs. When observed from below the sea surface, visible bertindih each other, forming the top perch in the rocks in the cliffs, with a height 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. Apparel is a green silk robe and a stick of wood young. Ki Pacek Nambangan After leaving the boat Pasraman Danghyang Dwijendra in Mas, Pedanda Sakti Wawu Ida Rauh immediately towards a large stone on the east bank of stone-stone former Royal temple heritage of Sri Wira Dalem Kesari. On a stone that, Pedanda Sakti Wawu Ida Rauh beryoga mengranasika, like loose kris saking urangka, lost without the former, amoring acintia Parama moksha.
