5 Astonishing Facts of Bali`s Garuda Wisnu Kencana Statue

Upon your arrival in Bali, as you face the southern part of the island, you may see a towering figure in the distance, Garuda Wisnu Kencana statue.
This towering figure is none other than the behemoth-sized statue known as the Garuda Wisnu Kencana (GWK). It is located in Ungasan area on the southern part of Bali.
It is dedicated to the Hindu God of Vishnu and his mount, the mythical bird Garuda.
This colossal statue was completed in August 2018, and was inaugurated by the seventh Indonesian President Joko Widodo on September of 2018.
It was built with the intention of being Bali’s landmark, which lives up to its name, as the statue is visible from many locations on the island due to its immense size.
Now the GWK statue serves as a cultural park where visitors can come and see the statue itself, as well as other cultural dances and performances. Below are some interesting facts and tidbits about the Garuda Wisnu Kencana Statue.

Most huge statues around the world are either standing or sitting statues. This Garuda Wisnu Kencana statue is full of action. Garuda is full of expression and He is flying. Meanwhile, Lord Wishnu is calmly seated with his eyes closed on His vehicle, Garuda. Garuda's body is soft and comfortable to add to it Garuda's feathers makes it even more soft, smooth and comfortable. The tail feathers of Garuda give a soft and feathery resting place for Lord Vishnu to lean His back on. Hence the Lord rest comfortably on Garuda with His eyes closed.
