When I Visited Pejeng
Village, Sukawati, Gianyar, I saw Arjuna Metapa Historical Statue. Arjuna is a figure
in Mahabrath Story, and he is a handsome and powerful man. Strangely this
Historical Statue is not located in a museum or in a closed place, but located
in outdoors, precisely in the middle of rice fields, located on the west of Archaeological
Museum, so I can saw easily. I can observe the shape of a amazing statues and
admire the beauty of the rice fields around statue.
The existence of Metapa
Arjuna Historical Statue is closely related to the Balinese People. I saw this statue
is very well preserved. Saw this historical statue I felt was brought into the Mahabharata
History which tells the story of Kauravas and Pandavas family. And Arjuna is
one of the central figures derived from the Pandavas.
This statue depicts
Arjuna who weared a recluse cloth, on the right and left side accompanied by
two loyal servant. Arjuna servant named Tualem and Merdah. Arjuna statue
established as one of the historic sites that must be protected from a variety
of natural and human disturbances. So despite the existence open place but
until whenever this statue will still safe.
