[1] Pura Beji dates back from the 15th-century, during the time of the arrival of Brahmins to Bali from the Hindu Majapahit Kingdom of Java.

Because of this, the temple is also known as Pura Subak Beji, and is highly revered by the farmers who honored it in return to the fertility of their rice paddy.

Shrine bases and the white sandstone walls surrounding the temple are covered in foliage-like carvings e.g. vine motifs or figures of flowers, a feature that can only be found in northern Bali.

Intact statues of demons and guardian nagas inspired by Hindu epics decorate the stone staircases and the walls.

Multiple bhoma heads are carved on the top of the candi bentar, providing extra protection to the temple against evil spirits.

The top of the paduraksa is carved with multiple Bhoma heads, a kind of Balinese Kirtimukha protectors of the temple.
