Bandung, IndonesiaSentinel.com — A majestic sculpture of a Garuda with outstretched wings, designed by renowned artist Nyoman Nuarta, now stands prominently at the Presidential Palace in Indonesia’s new capital Nusantara. This magnificent Garuda structure not just an artistic masterpiece but also the manifestation of Indonesia’s identity and the symbol of unity.

According to Nuarta, the structure’s core message is national unity. He chose the Garuda for its deep connection to Indonesia, symbolizing the country’s diverse cultures, rich traditions, and various beliefs and religions. The Garuda’s wings embrace these differences, embodying the spirit of unity within diversity that defines the nation of Indonesia.

The placement of this structure in the heart of the new capital also symbolizes deep meaning. The Garuda structure which appears to be embracing the capital illustrates the bird as a guardian protecting the nation. With its head facing forward also represents a bridge between the past and the future, grounding the nation’s progress in its cultural roots while looking ahead to a new era.

The Garuda figure in the palace constructed from a steel framework, with an outer shell made of copper and brass. The entire structure is crafted from weather-resistant materials not only it is long lasting but will also gradually changing color, enhancing its beauty and grandeur. undergoing natural oxidation over time, the brass on the front of the palace will slowly turn green, eventually shifting to a turquoise blue, while the initially reddish blades will darken.

The entire construction emphasizes the use of locally sourced products, reflecting a commitment to supporting the nation and showcasing pride in Indonesian craftsmanship.

With meticulous attention to detail and the selection of materials, Garuda Palace in Nusantara aimed to not only be aesthetically stunning but also to serve as a lasting and meaningful national symbol.
