1640h (KL TIME) One more photo before we move down to Dataran Putra.

1705h (KL TIME) This is the Dataran Putra, one of the most impressive showcase of Putrajaya's architrcture. The 300 metres circular Dataran Putra adorned with light and water features provides the centrepiece for Precinct 1. Dataran Putra is bounded by Perdana Putra, Masjid Putra, Putra Bridge and the Promenade.

Check out this impressive aerial photo of the Dataran Putra. (Photo taken from i-putra.com) The Dataran is divided into 11 segments, in the pattern of an 11-pointed star. The outer 11-pointed star represents the 11 states of Malaya when the country gained independence in August 1957, the inner 13-pointed star the 13 states that formed Malaysia in 1963 and the 14-pointed star includes the new addition of the Federal Territory. The progressive arrangements of the different pointed stars finally culminate in a circle in the centre of the Dataran, symbolises the ultimate goal of unity.

1708h (KL TIME) This is the Masjid Putra which is situated beside the Dataran. Quite a majestic place.

This is the Promenade area surrounding the Dataran. There is also a foodcourt located here. Didn't really try the food but looks good.
