The Naga

Siem Reap, Cambodia

The fantastic creatures of Angkor. Known from Hindu and Buddhist mythology, the naga is a snake of gigantic proportions. A staple of Southeast Asian architecture, in Thailand the naga is depicted as a large crested serpent. However at Angkor, the naga loses its crest in favor of a more ominous multi-headed appearance reminiscent of the Hydra from Greek mythology. This naga was shot at the front of Beng Mealea.
