It is said that at that time there is no Bali strait like now, because the island of Java and the island of Bali is still one and not separated by the ocean. Because the island is so long that we call now with the name of Java and the island of Bali, the island is named Dawa island which means long island.

Initially Rsi Markandeya founder of this temple, meditated on Mount Hyang (Mount Dieng in Central Java). After a long retreat the Markandeya Rishi received a revelation to take the forest on Dawa Island from the south to the north.

In the jungle place, Resi Markandeya planted a jar containing metal and holy water. These metals include gold metals, silver metals, copper metals, ferrous metals and bronze metals. The five metals in the Balinese community called the mama Pancadatu.

Besides the metal also participate planted a gem called Mirahadi which means main mirah. Place the pitcher is called Basuki which means survived. Given the name Basuki or survived because in the forest jungle the followers of Rsi Markandeya survived the duties. By the time the name Basuki changed into Besakih
