Temple Beauty

Banteay Srei a tenth century temple complex In Siem Reap is dedicated to the Hindu God Shiva. Built of red sandstone, it is considered to be the finest example of Khmer (Cambodian) art.. The small sculptures of the walls demand a closer look. The large seated guardián statues with animal heads are apparently copies.

 

Banteay Srei is part of the UNESCO World Heritage site of Angkor.

 

Thank you internet.
