| Catur
Muka Statue (Four Faced Statue) |
Catur Muka Statue is the depiction
of God Brahma, the Almighty Creator. Located at
the crossroad, this huge granite statue has four
heads which each of them faces and guards the street
of Surapati, Udayana, Veteran, and Gajah Mada.
God Brahma is depicted as a four faced deity based
on the legend that once upon a time there was a
beauty contest held in heaven. All Gods, including
Brahma, fought for the most advantageous spot from
where they can view the contest best. All the nymphs
who joined the beauty contest were required to parade
in a circle around the Gods to show their best heavenly
beauty. The contestants were countless that the
parade soon became a huge and crowded circle. In
order to be able to enjoy the beauty of all contestants
over and over again, with his supernatural power,
he transformed himself and had three more heads.
It is also said that the four heads represent God’s
power. The first head signifies the fact that God
is infinitely big. The second head signifies that
God is the King of the kings of this world and the
next. The third head signifies the fact that God
is tireless and never stops working. |
