The monument was completed on 31 July 2018 and inaugurated by Indonesian President Joko Widodo on 22 September 2018. It is the tallest statue of a Hindu deity and the tallest statue in Indonesia.
Malas nak taip mukadimah, so aku copy kat Wikipedia pasal GWK ni... Memang dari dalam pesawat, terpancar cahaya dari GWK Cultural Park ni. Statue memang besar. Yang penting, the tallest statue in Indonesia tau?
