, but is marked by even more extravagant fantasy and greater proportions.

Some of the Sala Keoku sculptures reach 25m. Those include a monumental depiction of

Sulilat
's approach is unusual, with its naturalistic (even though stylized) representation of the snakes.

The Sala Keoku pavilion is a three-story concrete building, whose domes bear a resemblance to a mosque. It was constructed following Sulilat's plans after his death. The third floor houses related artifacts, as well as Sulilat's mummified body.

Perhaps the most enigmatic part of the park is the Wheel of Life, a circular multi-part group of sculptures representing the

Buddha statue
on the other side.
