The Garuda Wisnu Kencana (GWK) statue in Bali, Indonesia, is the world's tallest statue of Lord Vishnu, reaching an approximate height of 400 feet (121 meters) when including its pedestal. This impressive structure was designed by the esteemed Indonesian sculptor Nyoman Nuarta and is primarily composed of copper and brass, supported by a stainless steel frame and a reinforced concrete core, with a weight of approximately 4,000 tonnes. The statue portrays Lord Vishnu atop his mythical mount, Garuda, representing divine power, protection, and loyalty within Hindu mythology.

Situated within the Garuda Wisnu Kencana Cultural Park in Ungasan, southern Bali, the statue is a central element of a broader cultural complex dedicated to the promotion of Balinese and Indonesian arts, culture, and Hindu traditions. The park offers open-air theaters, exhibition halls, and regularly presents traditional Balinese dances, cultural performances, and festivals, thereby serving as a hub for cultural education and preservation.

The construction of the statue commenced in 1990, but it was temporarily suspended during the 1997 Asian financial crisis before resuming in 2013. The statue was officially completed and inaugurated in 2018. It is composed of 754 individual modules and 25 steel segments that were assembled on site.

The statue's impressive wingspan spans approximately 64 meters (210 feet), and its overall height and size exceed that of the Statue of Liberty, including her pedestal. It is visible from numerous locations across southern Bali and has become a prominent national landmark and a popular tourist attraction.

Visitors to the Garuda Wisnu Kencana Cultural Park can explore the statue, enjoy cultural performances, and learn about the history and significance of Vishnu and Garuda within Hinduism. The park also provides panoramic views of Bali's southern coast and serves as an important symbol of Indonesia's rich cultural heritage and national pride.
