Banteay Srey






Banteay Srei, Cambodia


Banteay Srey is a magnificent jewel of a temple. Finely sculpted, with an incredible richness of details, the pink shades of the sandstone come alive in the early morning and at the end of the day. Monkeys and Garaudas (Solar Eagles) replace the lions that traditionally guard the temple doors.
The name means Fortress of the Women.
