 Park Walker - Fort Canning - Sang Nila Utama Garden (2020 0829)



The Sang Nila Utama Garden, named for the Palembang prince, is a re-creation of South-east Asian gardens of the 14th century. Visitors are welcomed by Javanese split gates and statues of frogs, fish and ducks - fauna that was believed to be seen in the palace gardens.

The garden also has traditional features such as a symmetric layout and reflective pools filled with lily pads that used to be a meditative refuge for royalty.






The Guardian - This sculpture is inspired by typical 14th century Majapahit aesthetic, where the imagery of a bull is used to represent the strength of a protector over Singapore.
