Selamat Datang Monument, Bronze monument in Central Jakarta, Indonesia.

The monument exhibits two bronze figures reaching seven meters tall, with a woman holding flowers and a man standing in welcoming positions on a pedestal.

President Sukarno commissioned the monument in 1961 as part of Jakarta's preparation efforts for hosting the fourth Asian Games in 1962.

The monument represents Indonesian hospitality through its design, featuring two figures extending greetings to visitors entering the capital city.

Visitors can capture photographs of the monument from the pedestrian bridge near Hotel Indonesia roundabout, which provides clear views of the structure.

The entire structure rises thirty meters above ground level and stands at the center of one of Jakarta's main traffic circles.
