Banteay Srei Banteay Srei is a 10th century Hindu temple complex located at Angkor. Dedicated to the Hindu god Shiva, the temple was built in 967 by a Brahmin priest who was the counsellor to the then reigning King Rajendravarman II and his brother. Often referred to as the “jewel of Khmer art”, Banteay Srei is very popular among locals and tourists. The temple complex comprises four enclosures. The outermost enclosure encircles the intricately carved temple buildings. The carvings on the walls of this enclosure depict scenes from the Indian Ramayana and the Hindu deities. Inside the third enclosure is a moat with a ramp leading into the second enclosure, where visitors can explore two library buildings. The libraries have beautiful decorative panels over the doorways and the carvings illustrate mythological stories from the great Indian epic, the Mahabharatha. The inner sanctuary of the temple is closed to the public and only open to Angkor’s elite.

アンコールワットよりも少し遠くなりますが、道中の田舎道をTukutukuで、のんびり行くのが好きです。
