The Catur Muka Statue was erected in 1973 by I Gusti Nyoman Lempad, an artist from Ubud. This nine-meter-tall granite statue faces the four cardinal directions: west, east, north, and south. The statue is accompanied by dancing fountains that display colorful rainbow-like patterns when viewed at night.
True to its name, the Catur Muka Statue has four faces, each facing Jalan Surapati, Jalan Udayana, Jalan Veteran, and Jalan Gajah Mada. The statue represents the deity Brahma, with each face depicting a different aspect.
The east-facing face is called Sanghyang Iswara, representing wisdom. The west-facing face is called Sanghyang Mahadewa, representing compassion.
The north-facing face is called Sanghyang Wisnu, representing strength and the purification of the human soul. The south-facing face is called Sanghyang Brahma, representing the preservation of tranquility.
