Banteay Srei Temple The Woman Citadel
#2024wish
I just have a trip to visit the Banteay Srei Temple that located in Siem Reap Province 🇰🇭. It is beautiful view and the ancient temple of Cambodia. It make me feel very excited to see the wonderful art and construction.🏰
The 10th-century temple of Banteay Srei stands out among the Angkorian temples due to its distinctive features and historical significance. Unlike the other temples in the Angkor complex, Banteay Srei was not built by a monarch but rather by a courtier named Yajnavaraha, who was renowned for his scholarly and philanthropic contributions. The temple's name, " "}" "}Citadel of Women," "}" "} reflects its dedication to the Hindu god Shiva.
Constructed using red sandstone, Banteay Srei showcases intricate craftsmanship and attention to detail. One of its remarkable characteristics is the use of miniature elements, which sets it apart from the larger temples in the region. Visitors are captivated by the exquisite shapes and depictions that adorn almost every surface of the temple. These include fearsome monsters, multi-armed protectors, goddesses, and even false doors. The level of skill and precision in the temple's ornamental technique has earned it widespread acclaim, with every visitor marveling at its near-perfection. Banteay Srei truly stands as a testament to the artistic mastery of its time.
Cambodia is a destination that adds significance and creates unforgettable memories for travelers. When I plan my trip in 2024, revisiting this place is a must. #banteaysreitemple #historicallandmarks #mytravelhacks #localguides #ancientlandmark #ancienttemples
Banteay Srei Temple is built largely of red sandstone, a medium that lends itself to the elaborate decorative wall carvings which are still observable today. The buildings themselves are miniature in scale, unusually so when measured by the standards of Angkorian construction.These factors have made the temple extremely popular with tourists, and have led to its being widely praised as a"precious gem", or the "jewel of Khmer art".
Banteay Srei is a 10th-century Cambodian temple dedicated to the Hindu god Shiva. Located in the area of Angkor Archaeological Park, it lies near the hill of Phnom Dei, 25 km north-east of the main group of temples that once belonged to the medieval capitals of Yasodharapura and Angkor Thom.
The Queen's Palace, located in Siem Reap, Cambodia, is one of the three major temples in Cambodia, known as the "Pearl of Angkor Monuments". It was built in 967 AD and was built in 1002. The Queen's Palace is one of the most exquisite works of ancient Khmer sculptures. It is built for red sandstone, colorful, exquisite reliefs, and the beauty of women's feminine and soft. It is one of the most unique and exquisite buildings in Angkor's monuments. The main building of the Queen's Palace has three central towers and a large library, all of which are covered with exquisite carvings, and it can be said that every inch is a gem of classical carving art.
The Queen's Palace is very exquisite! Very! Admiring the craftsmanship of their time
Banteat Srei Temple is located a bit further away from siem Reap city. but it is another a must destination because the sculpture of the temple is very unique from other temples. It took around 30min to get there by car.
