Bajra Sandhi Monument is located in front of the Bali Governor's Office in Depansar, Indonesia, on the island of Bali. It is also known as the Monument to the Struggle of the people of Bali. The monument was built in 1987 and was opened by president of Megawati Sukarno Putri on 14th June 2003.
The place is very historic for Balinese. You will feel it when you see all the statues and the photos/art craft (exhibition area) inside the building plus the monument itself. (Sorry, I didn't much take a photo inside the building, I got amazed and forgot to take a photo..*wink*)
The monument have three areas:
1.) Utama Mandala - the main building (in the center of the monument).
2.) Madya Mandala - the inner courtyard (surrounding the Utama Mandala).
3.) Nista Mandala - the outer courtyard (surrounding the Madya Mandala).
