Bali Eagle Square backstory: the reason why it is called Eagle Square is because here was going to erect a world's tallest bronze statue of an eagle, eagle riding on the back of Bali's supreme deity - the god of maintenance Vishnu. It is rumored that a monk instructed Suharto that the bronze statue, once cast, would bless Indonesia with prosperity and happiness.
The real name of the Eagle Square is Garuda Wisnu Kencana (GWK) Wisnu Eagle Sculpture Park, which is situated in Uluwatu, the highest point in southern Bali, and is the protector god of the Hindu trinity of gods, with Garuda, meaning the divine eagle, as his mount.
Come to Bali must go to the Divine Eagle Square, which is a dream of the Balinese government. The large square in front of the eagle has also become the best place to hold some large gatherings or cultural events in Bali. Inside, there are many stone carvings that tell the story of religion and history that are worth enjoying. There is also a Balinese traditional dance program in the square for tourists. The Balinese classical dances are elegant and colorful, among which the lion and sword dances are the most representative.
