According to the history, the Hindu priest, Dang Hyang Nirartha, who traveled from Pulaki to East Bali, was resting on the summit of a plateau in the village of Petang. When continuing the trip, his tedung (umbrella) is left in the resting place. The local community said, the tedung he left behind was seen to emit light at night and have magical powers. Therefore, Raja Mengwi ordered the local community to build Pelinggih in the form of Meru Tumpang Tiga, as a tribute to Dang Hyang Nirartha's services. Since then, the place has been called Pura Pucak Tedung.
