Arjuna Wijaya Statue

Unclaimed

Located in heart of Central Jakarta. In front of Indosat HQ, near from National Monument "MONAS" & MH Thamrin Statue ( one of Indonesian Heroes ). One of the place must be visited.

Clean and instagram-able This park is clean, provide good scenery, green and provide what you need. The environment and air is good as well. We can come by and take photos as much, since we found several instagram-able spots here around. The parking lot is easy to find the blank spot.

What can i say about this place? It's majestic and artistic, the place itself is on the center of protocol Street. It's quite okay for walk here but not sure if it's a great place to take a picture without everyone staring at you. Maybe if you got a good camera, i recommend you to take a picture at night, even tho the area would be so full and loud with traffic activity around.

This "horse statue" was built in 1987, motivated by President Suharto's state visit toTurkey in 1987, where he saw many monuments explaining about Turkey's past stories on the streets. The statue depicts a scene in the classic Mahabharata story, where two characters from the Pandava camp, namely Arjuna who holds an arrow bow and Batara Kresna who becomes sais are riding a Garuda-headed chariot pulled by eight horses that symbolize the eight leadership philosophies of "Asta Brata". Both of them are described as being in a battle situation against Adipati Karna who comes from the Kurawa camp.
