The Bali Pavilion
Eye-catching architecture in the Tropical Village
The Balinese Pavilion stands imposingly behind the two wings of the grand Bali Gate. The Pavilion has a hexagonal ground plan and three pagoda roofs, giving it the same aesthetic proportions as a Balinese temple. The roofs are decked with palm leaves. The wood used in the construction is bangkirai and merbau, two extremely strong woods from Asia.
On the ground floor, a valuable sandstone relief depicts scenes from the Ramayana, the epic tale of Prince Rama, his beautiful wife Sita and the Monkey King Hanuman. The Ramayana is a classic of world literature and contains the philosophical basis of Hinduism.
