GWK (Garuda Wisnu Kencana)
GWK stands for Garuda Wisnu Kencana. Below I will briefly explain the meaning of the name Garuda Wisnu Kencana. So that you can answer why this tourist attraction on the island of Bali is called GWK Bali.
Garuda, the word Garuda comes from Sanskrit which means a bird and its body is like a human. But the head and legs resemble birds and on the back there are wings. Of course the Garuda bird is a mythological bird.
Then, Vishnu is one of the gods in Hinduism who has a role in maintaining and guarding all of Godβs creations. While Kencana means Gold.
Because in the tourist area of GWK Bali there is a statue of Lord Vishnu, who is wearing a golden crown, and is riding a Garuda bird with a very large statue size. So this tourist spot in Bali is named Garuda Wisnu Kencana (GWK).
GWK Bali tourist spot is a cultural park which has an area of 240 hectares. The address or location of the GWK Bali cultural park is on Jalan Raya Uluwatu, Ungasan Village, South Kuta, Badung Regency 80364.
If you come from Ngurah Rai Airport Denpasar, to the location of the GWK Bali tourist spot, you only need 20 minutes of travel. Of course, in a state of smooth highway traffic.
Β
From Kuta beach to GWK Bali you will need 45 minutes of travel time with a distance of 15 kilometers.
The following is a brief history of the Garuda Wisnu Kencana tourist spot. The development of the GWK Bali tourist spot was initiated by the Garuda Wisnu Kencana Foundation in 1992. The development of the GWK Bali with the aim of making the GWK Bali tourist spot a landmark of a cultural tourist spot that is well-known to foreign countries.
One of the founders of the Garuda Wisnu Kencana Foundation is I Nyoman Nuarta. Mr. I Nyoman Nuarta is also the drafter and architect of the GWK statue.
To get a suitable location for a big project like the construction of Garuda Wisnu Kencana, is not an easy task.
After finalizing the concept of the project, the Garuda Wisnu Kencana Foundation took two years to find a location for the perfect Garuda Wisnu Kencana statue. Before the construction of GKW Bali, the location on the Ungasan hill was used as a limestone mining site.
The Garuda Wisnu Kencana Foundation appointed I Nyoman Nuarta as the main sculptor for the GWK Bali project. Because I Nyoman Nuarta is one of Indonesiaβs best modern sculptors.
Then in 2013, the ownership management of GWK Bali was taken over by PT Alam Sutera Realty Indonesia. PT Alam Sutera Realty Indonesia is a property development company in Indonesia.
Over time, tourist attractions in Bali GWK developed into a place for cultural exhibitions, entertainment events and attractions. As well as being a forum for information and communication for local culture, national culture, regional culture and even international culture.
