Monas Dancing Fountain, Water and light display at National Monument complex in Jakarta, Indonesia.
Description
Monas Dancing Fountain is a water and light display located at the National Monument complex in Merdeka Square, Jakarta. It features synchronized jets that rise and fall while colored lights and recorded music accompany the movements.
History
This fountain was built in 1975 as part of the National Monument grounds in central Jakarta. A major renovation in 2017 updated its systems to improve the quality and complexity of the shows.
Culture
The fountain serves as a central gathering point for Jakarta residents who meet during evening shows to celebrate national holidays and community events.
Practical
The fountain is directly accessible from Merdeka Square and can be easily reached by public transportation from central Jakarta. Visitors should arrive early during popular times and wear comfortable walking shoes since the plaza is large.

The installation operates with more than eighty individual jets and twenty submersible pumps working together to create geometric patterns. This technical setup allows the water movements to sync precisely with musical compositions during each performance.
