Banteay Srei, Hindu temple in Siem Reap, Cambodia
The sandstone walls of Banteay Srei feature detailed carvings depicting Hindu deities and mythological scenes across three rectangular enclosures with central towers.
Built in 967 CE under Rajendravarman II, this temple was commissioned by courtiers Vishnukumara and Yajnavaraha rather than by royal decree.
The temple structures display scenes from Hindu mythology, particularly focusing on Shiva and Vishnu, with intricate carvings throughout its surfaces.
Located 32 kilometers from Siem Reap, visitors need an Angkor complex pass to access the site, which opens from 7:30 AM to 5:30 PM daily.
The red sandstone construction allows for exceptionally detailed reliefs, making it different from other Angkorian temples built with gray sandstone.
