Candi Penataran ditemukan pada tahun 1815, dan belum banyak dikenal sampai tahun 1850. Komplek candi ini ditemukan oleh Sir Thomas Stamford Raffles, yang merupakan Letnan Gubernur Jendral pada masa kolonial Inggris di Indonesia pada waktu itu.
Raffles bersama-sama dengan Dr.Horsfield seorang ahli Ilmu Alam mengadakan kunjungan ke Candi Panataran, dan hasil kunjunganya dibukukan dalam buku yang berjudul "History of Java" yang terbit dalam dua jilid. Jejak Raffles ini di kemudian hari diikuti oleh para peneliti lain yaitu : J.Crawfurd seorang asisten residen di Yogyakarta, selanjutnya Van Meeteren Brouwer (1828), Junghun (1884), Jonathan Rigg (1848) dan N.W.Hoepermans yang pada tahun 1886 mengadakan inventarisasi di komplek candi Panataran.

Raja Çrnga memerintah kerajaan Kediri antara tahun 1190 - 1200, sebagai candi gunung untuk tempat upacara pemujaan agar dapat menetralisasi atau menghindari mara bahaya yang disebabkan oleh gunung Kelud yang sering meletus.
