Plaza Bhagawan

Plaza Bhagawan Is The Ticketing Area!

There are three statues in the Plaza Bhagawan area, namely the statue of Bhagawan Kasyapa flanked by the statues of Dewi Winata (on the right) and Dewi Kadru (on the left).

These eggs are the eggs of the Naga from Kadru and also the eggs of Garuda and Aruna from Dewi Winata. Aruna is the brother of Garuda, whose egg was forcibly cracked by Dewi Winata, who is Aruna’s mother, causing Aruna to become angry and leave his mother.

Aruna comes from the Sanskrit word “Anuruh,” which means without thighs and legs. It was Aruna who cursed his mother to become a slave because she forcibly hatched his egg, causing him to be born prematurely.

Dewi Winata and Dewi Kadru asked for offspring from Sang Hyang Widhi, and eventually, they were given these eggs. Dewi Kadru received 1000 eggs, and Dewi Winata received 2 eggs according to their requests.

In this area, there is a maja tree.

An avatar is an incarnation of Lord Vishnu as the protector of the universe. There are four reliefs of avatars: Matsya Avatar, Varaha Avatar, Kurma Avatar, and Narasimha Avatar.

– Matsya Avatar: According to the Padma Purana, the universe was once flooded by a great deluge due to continuous rain for three consecutive months. Humanity and the earth were nearly submerged. Lord Vishnu then descended to the world, taking the form of a large horned fish named Matsya Avatar.

– Varaha Avatar: There was a time when a powerful and cruel giant named Hiranyaksha reigned. He could not be killed by any weapon. To maintain world peace, Lord Vishnu incarnated as a huge wild boar named Varaha and defeated the cruel giant king.

– Kurma Avatar: According to the Padma Purana, the gods and demons fought over obtaining Tirta Amerta by churning the universe and its contents. Lord Vishnu then incarnated as Kurma Avatar, a giant turtle, to support the earth threatened with destruction by this event.

– Narasimha Avatar: Lord Vishnu took the form of a man-lion deity to defeat a powerful king named Hiranyakashipu, who could not be killed by man, beast, or even the gods. Narasimha, being neither of these, easily killed Hiranyakashipu and restored world peace.

* PLAZA GARUDA *

Garuda is the mount of Lord Vishnu, symbolizing loyalty, devotion, and selfless sacrifice.

Garuda looks to the left, which according to Mr. Nyoman Nuarta, signifies self-awareness. The right is associated with goodness, and the left with badness. So, as humans, we are expected to be aware that we also have flaws.

Garuda is a mythological creature with the body of a half-human, half-giant bird.

* LOTUS POND *

Named Lotus Pond because, when viewed from above, the cliffs resemble the petals of a lotus flower.

The philosophy of the Lotus Pond: The lotus flower is considered a symbol of purity and transcendence (divine consciousness/vertical human consciousness, not just in a religious sense but in any meaning that transcends human intellect) and spiritual liberation.

At the top of this rock, there is a palace built by King Kasyapa (477-495 AD), the son of Dhatusena, who came to power after orchestrating the murder of his father and seizing the rightful throne from his brother Mogallana. Fearing retaliation from his brother, Kasyapa built a palace atop the nearly impregnable Sigiriya rock. The giant rock is surrounded by two large moats guarded by crocodiles. This site is similar to the Festival Park area, which is related to Bhagawan Kasyapa.

Garuda Wisnu Kencana / GWK

There is a prayer point in this area where a tamarind tree is located. If you wish to take anything from the tamarind tree, please seek permission first.

It is the 4th tallest statue in the world and the widest statue in the world, with a height of 120.9 meters and a wingspan of 64 meters.

The large Garuda Wisnu Kencana cultural park Bali (GWK) statue is made of copper, consisting of 754 modules that were shipped periodically from Bandung to Badung.

The green color of the statue is the result of the copper oxidation process, which was achieved by spraying with patina acid.

The green color is associated with nature because Lord Vishnu is believed to be the preserver of nature.

The designer of the large GWK statue is Mr. Nyoman Nuarta.

There are statues of Kang Cing Wie and King Jaya Pangus. The story goes that King Jaya Pangus married Kang Cing Wie, and because they had no offspring, King Jaya Pangus meditated at the foot of Mount Batur. The presence of the King mesmerized Dewi Danu (the guardian of Lake Batur), and eventually, King Jaya Pangus married Dewi Danu. Since he had not returned home for a long time, Kang Cing Wie went in search of her husband, King Jaya Pangus. During her journey, Kang Cing Wie met a child who was none other than the child of King Jaya Pangus and Dewi Danu. Kang Cing Wie became angry and fought with Dewi Danu. In the battle, Kang Cing Wie was assisted by King Jaya Pangus, which enraged Dewi Danu, who ultimately cursed Kang Cing Wie and King Jaya Pangus, turning them into statues.
