This monument remind us to the terrible incident, the explosion of Bali Bomb occurred on Saturday evening October 12, 2002 at Jalan Legian, Kuta which causing 202 persons from 22 countries killed and 324 seriously injured or defected.
The horrible bomb explosion also destroyed and damaged many buildings and cars in one kilometer radius, and since that tragedy, tourism industry as the back bone of Bali's economy suffer the deepest decline along its history. But owing to the dedication and hard work of all community levels, either private sectors or The Government, now it has got gradual recovery.
The monument is located at the area of explosion site (Ground Zero), while the striking part of the monument is "kayonan" taking the shape of huge white colour tree leaf, as symbol of the universe, and at the lower part of kayonan could be found an inscription listing all dead victim.
