Banteay Srei, considered the most beautiful temple among Khmer ruins, is not large in size but is in a good state of preservation.
This temple is worth a visit as the artistry of its reliefs is outstanding.
This temple is located about 1 hour and 30 minutes from downtown Siem Reap toward Phnom Kulen.
The word Bandeisrei itself means “beautiful woman.”
Although it is not large in scale, it is a temple with reliefs made of red sandstone, and the reliefs are delicate and beautiful.
The green part in the upper right corner is Phnom Kulen Mountain.
While touring, I feel hesitation after a big tour or a small tour.
Should Tonle Shop go to Kampong Block? Or should I go to Tsonknier, which takes a short route?
Should I go to Phnom Kulen? Or Bengmilia? Bandai srey?
Phnom Kulen should be viewed as a one-day course.
Beng Milia and Bandei Srei can be combined for a one-day tour.

In fact, each of these reliefs contains content from various Hindu myths.
quarrel
chin
Korean "Goblin", etc.
Contents of Hindu mythology are in relief at the top.
In the case of monkeys, there is a monkey leader called “Hanuman”.
You can see that Hanuman in Hindu mythology later becomes “Son Wukong.”
Red sandstone was sculpted or made into structures and reliefs were carved on them.
Jonah means female genitals. Originally, the linga, meaning the male penis, would have been there.
This is evidence that it has been destroyed or disappeared.
It's a cow. It has been destroyed. If there is this cow, you can definitely think of it as a temple dedicated to
Lord Shiva.
The car that Lord Shiva rides is a cow.
After you finish viewing, there are chairs where you can sit under the tree. On the right are people playing musical instruments.
They are all disabled. These are landmine victims.
Thank you for reading this trivial article.
