Simpang Lima Gumul Monument, Triumphal arch monument in Ngasem, Indonesia

The Simpang Lima Gumul Monument is a tan stone triumphal arch, 25 meters high and 804 square meters in floor area, standing on a dark paved plaza at the meeting point of five roads in Tugurejo, Ngasem. Its wide base carries a deep central arched passageway, and a row of small rectangular openings runs across the upper facade. White lettered panels flank the arch, and three 3-meter stairways lead up from the ground level.

Construction began in 2003 and finished in 2008 as part of the expansion of Kediri's business center. The height and number of floors reference March 25, 804, the founding date of Kediri Regency.

The monument's name comes from the Javanese phrase simpang lima, meaning the meeting point of five roads: one each toward Kediri city, Pagu, Pare, Plosoklaten and Pesantren. Its reliefs trace Kediri's history through to its arts and culture, and a Ganesha statue stands in one corner as the Hindu god of knowledge and wisdom.

The central location at a major intersection makes the monument easy to reach, and the surrounding area allows for parking. The interior spaces provide shade and a quieter environment, especially during early morning or late afternoon.

Six floors hold reliefs that tell the story of the Kediri region, and a Ganesha statue stands in one corner. This figure links Hindu tradition with East Java's heritage.
