In the area there is also a Statue of Garuda which is directly behind the Plaza Wisnu is Garuda Plaza where the statue as high as 18 meters Garuda placed temporarily. At this moment, Garuda Plaza becomes the focal point of a large corridor of carved limestone pillars covering over 4000 square meters of open space ie Lotus Pond. The colossal limestone columns and monumental sculptures of Lotus Pond Garuda make a very exotic space. With a space capacity capable of accommodating up to 7000 people, Lotus Pond has earned a good reputation as the perfect venue for holding major events and international events.
There is also a statue of Vishnu's hand which is part of the statue of Lord Vishnu. This is one step closer to completing the complete Garuda Wisnu Kencana statue. This work is placed temporarily in the area of Tirta Agung.
Recreation Place at GWK

wisnu plaza is the highest land in GWK area where our temporary place is the most important part of the statue of Garuda Wisnu Kencana statue of Vishnu.
At certain times of the day here will be some traditional Balinese performance with majestic statues of Vishnu as a backdrop. Due to its high location, you can see the surrounding panorama. The statue of Vishnu, as the focal point of Wisnu Plaza, is surrounded by fountains and well water near the sacred he said never dry even in the dry season.
Parahyangan Somaka Giri is placed next to the statue of Vishnu. This is where the water is located, which historically has been trusted by the people of the area as a blessing with a powerful magical power to cure his illness and ask the gods for rain during the dry season. Because of its location on the high ground (on a hill), this natural phenomenon is considered a saint and a local is believed to be holy water.

3.Lotus Pond
Lotus Pond starts from the lotus. The lotus is the main symbol of beauty, prosperity and fertility. Vishnu also always carries lotus flowers in his hands and almost all the gods of the Hindu gods who sit on the lotus or carry flowers.
Some interesting facts are that the lotus plant grows in water, has its roots in illus or mud, and spreading flowers in the air above. Thus, the lotus symbolizes human life as well as that of the cosmos.
The lotus root drowned in the mud is a material life. Stalks passing through water symbolize existence in the astral world. Flowers floating on the water and opening to the sky are a mild spiritual emblematical.
