DUBAI: A small previously unassuming village in Randusari, Indonesia, unveiled a stunning makeover that is taking Instagram by storm.
The village of Kampung Pelangi was allocated 300,000,000 Indonesian Rupiah ($22,522) by the local council committee in order to revamp itself and attract tourists.
The bold new color scheme was unveiled at the end of April after members of the community, including the mayor of a nearby village, got involved to paint the houses, the Independent reported Wednesday.
Much of the manpower was reportedly provided by The Indonesian Builders Association.
The buildings in the village have been covered with multi-colored stripes, leading locals to dub it a “rainbow village.”
However, up-close, visitors will realize that many of the buildings are covered in art work, including a wall which features a pair of angel wings surrounded by rainbow rays, a 3-D shark and flags.
Instagram users have posted vibrant photos of the village since its revamp.
