The Jewel Of Khmer Art

Banteay Srei, Cambodia

Of all the temples we visited, I am particularly fond of this place. Maybe for its meaning : 'The citadel of women'. It is an exquisite piece of architecture covered with carvings out of solid sandstone. Built in 10th century and dedicated to Lord Shiva, this gem is closer in architecture and decorations to Indian models than any other temple in Angkor. Even `Teddy', my traveller bear loves it here.
