MONUMEN SIMPANG LIMA GUMUL
Monument simpang
lima gumul which before was built known as proliman, located in the village of
tugurejo, district gampengrejo, kediri, east java, in the center of the meeting
five road to gampengrejo, capping, pare, pesantren and plosoklaten. Kediri,
where once stood a great kingdom with strong cultural roots, it set up a
monument that resembles the arc de triomphe.
If the arc de
triomphe, inspired by the arch of titus the romans built in the first century,
made in paris to honor those who fought and died for france in the french
revolution and the napoleonic wars, it is not clear simpang lima gumulkediri
monument was created in honor of whom, and why the regents that memprakarsainya
not make a grand monument which takes the form of local cultural roots.
The streets
around the monument simpang lima gumul wide enough and well laid out, with a
range of ferns which gives a greenish but seems not to be enough to provide
shade for pedestrians from the sun kediri.
My impression
then monuments simpang lima gumul not have impressive ornaments, except the
simple relief that supposedly tells the history of kediri, in contrast to the
arc de triomphe and the arc de titus to have curves and beautiful ornaments
detail, which shows the seriousness of the art manufacturing and high culture .
Building
monument simpanglimagumul has six floors high as 30 m and an area of 6,186 m2
and its construction cost more than usd 300 billion. While the arc de triomphe
height of 50 m, with a width of 45 m and thickness and 22 m, and
charlesgodefroy ever nieuport biplanes flew his plane through a hole in a
celebration to mark the end of world war i.
The streets were
wide and smooth all around still looks too fancy because there is no meaningful
economic activity around the site. Monument simpanglimagumul in kediri was
built in 2003 and inaugurated in 2008.
A statue of
ganesha, one of the many gods worshiped by the hindus to the title as the god
of knowledge and intelligence, lord protector, bala repellent god and god of
wisdom, placed in one corner of the monuments simpang lima gumul. Arca with the
actual size is large enough, it looks dwarfed in simpang lima gumul monument,
and not enough to publish admiration.
Making monument
simpanglimagumul reportedly was part of the great plan of kediri regency
government at that time to make a trade center that also serves as a recreation
center. A thought and a plan that looks very good, but unfortunately its icon
selection is controversial and unproductive.
Likewise parking
area is made and well laid out, where from here visitors can go through a
tunnel to get to the location of monuments simpanglimagumul. In one hand, a man
seemed to be mowing the grass in bare land, perhaps to feed livestock, in the
vicinity of monuments simpang lima gumul, while bicycle disenderkan in a small
tree on the roadside.
building
monument gumulsimpang lima this could be a magnificent building if only done
better. Like it or not, monument simpanglimagumul in kediri was already built,
and has also cost hundreds of billions of state funds. Monument
simpanglimagumul still need to be improved and developed, both in terms of art
and culture and the economy.
Monument
simpanglimagumul should surely be enriched with detailed ornaments that were
able to show the majesty of the old cultural roots and strong kediri, which
could be an inspiration for the local community and for the walkers who come
there. Thus, the economic aspect as well can also be developed along with the
sound admiration walkers who visit it.
