Ahead of the celebration of Indonesian Independence Day, the government continues to speed up work on the Nusantara Presidential Palace in East Kalimantan. The plan is that Jokowi will hold the ceremony in 2 places at once, at the Merdeka Palace and at the Nusantara Presidential Palace .
Nyoman Nuarta, as the sculpture maestro who is trusted to design the design of the Garuda bird, also accelerated the work so that it could be occupied immediately. Even though it is not yet 100 percent complete, the Nusantara Presidential Palace looks magnificent and is covered in gold. Jokowi called this Presidential Palace the Garuda Palace.
Nyoman said that the IKN Garuda statue was built with 4,854 sheath blades. One casing weighs 0.3 tons. In total, the IKN Garuda statue weighs 1,456 tons. That weight is equivalent to 290 elephants.
The following brilio.net summarizes from Instagram @nyoman_nuarta on Monday (5/8), a portrait of the Garuda Palace, a symbol of IKN's splendor.
