The temple was built during the era of Empu Kuturan. Empu is a title given to someone who attains high distinction in literature, philosophy and craftsmanship. Several hundreds of years later, a charismatic priest called Danghyang Nirartha was cremated here with his spirit ascending into heaven to become whole with God Almighty. Access is difficult (though porters are available), please bring suitable footwear and dress with respect for the temple. Now, a number of infrastructure developments have been started to establish in these area. This means as an effort to provide a good accessibility for anyone who come there.
