Banteay Srei Temple

#WinterTravel This winter, Bomiko will not play in the snow or go up the mountain, but will visit the castle instead. It is something different and a new destination in a different season. This is the reason why Bomiko chose to visit Siem Reap, Cambodia. There are many castles here, and this time I will take my friends to visit Banteay Srei, a stone castle that is considered the most beautiful in Cambodia. It is perfectly harmonious and is the only castle that has been completed for over 1,000 years, but the patterns are still sharp, like they were just completed. To the northeast of Siem Reap, you will find a small castle near the Siem Reap River, Banteay Srei, built at the end of the reign of King Rajendravarmanin, made of pink sandstone, with beautiful high-relief carvings. Banteay Srei is popular among tourists because it is beautiful, not too damaged or decayed over time, and the carvings are sharp and the castle is small. It is said that this castle is "Precious gem" or "the jewel of Khmer art". The beauty of Banteay Srei temple was created meticulously by ancient craftsmen and also collected the art of many ancient eras, such as the art of the bull, the art of the Baceng, the art of the Koh Ker and the processed to be preserved in this temple. It can be seen from the pillars attached to the wall, the pillars decorated with door frames, the lintel and the pediment. As for the images of gods and goddesses carved on the temple walls, they are very attractive. The body is not big, but looks plump. Decorated with beautiful ornaments Standing in a glass pavilion, the apsara stands in a charming pose, tilting her hips slightly. Her hair is in a simple bun, decorated with a small headdress. There are exquisitely crafted earrings. The earrings look like a garland (garland) that is as long as the shoulders. Tilting the neck slightly, hands holding the pleated lotus flowers. Wearing bracelets on both hands and feet Wearing a cloth with pleated pockets in front Around the hips there are patterns similar to flowers. Looks very natural #TravelAbroad #SiemReap
