Puseh Kemenuh Temple was built in the 10th-11th century AD, which can be proven through the characteristics of the existence of a number of cultural heritage objects in the form of kuna pratima statues, kuna building fragments in the temple, and in the inner courtyard area of Puseh Kemenuh Temple which continued with its cultural traditions until the 13th century AD during the Bali Kuna period, when the reign of the Warmadewa Dynasty kings. Pura Puseh Kemenuh was damaged in the 12th and 13th centuries, due to natural disasters, related to the "volcanic symptoms" that often occur in Bali. Its construction was resumed by a generation of Majapahit culture supporters, after the Bali Aga (Bali Kuna) community was conquered by the Majapahit kingdom. The construction of Pura Puseh in Kemenuh Village is known especially since a grandson of Ida Sang Hyang Nirartha named "Ida Pedanda Ketandhan" from Majapahit Kingdom visited Kemenuh Village. As written in the lontar manuscript Babad Darmayatra Dang Hyang Nirartha in the Gelgel Kingdom era, it is known that he was the "Initiator" of the construction of Pura Puseh Kemenuh in the 16th century AD (Pusat Dokumentasi Kebudayaan Bali, 1988, lll).
People once considered Pura Puseh Kemenuh as "Pura Gede" because of its large building. People also consider Pura Puseh Kemenuh, as a Shiva Buddha Temple because there is a Buddha statue that was originally placed in the Jaba side of Pura Puseh Kemenuh. Kemenuh Puseh Temple has nine Penyawangan or Deviation temples, namely, Pulaki, Batukaru, Rambut Sedana, Banapati, Batur, Besakih, Sakenan, and Uluwatu, which became a place of worship for Ngayeng (or representing) the community at that time, before the existence of vehicles like now. from Until now, Kemenuh Puseh Temple is still a place of worship for the people of Kemenuh Village.
