banteay srei , the citadel of women2
DESCRIPTION
Although it's out of the way, true temple buffs won't want to miss Banteay Srei, a beautiful 10th-century Hindu temple complex about 23 miles north of Angkor Wat. The temple consists of low walls surrounding peaked structures of deep red sandstone. Banteay Srei means "Citadel of Women," and it is said that the reliefs on this temple are so delicate that they could only have been carved by the hand of a woman. The well-preserved relief carvings on the central buildings depict scenes from ancient Hindu tales.

Banteay Srei a fost descoperit de francezi abia în anul 1914 dar a devenit celebru dupã ce André Malraux a furat patru apsara în 1923 (pe care a fost obligat sã le restituie)
Templul a fost remarcabil restaurat în anii 1931-1936 de cãtre Henri Marchal.
Statuile gardienilor mitici sunt copii, originalele aflându-se la Muzeul Naţional.

Templul Banteay Srei a fost construit în anul 967 în timpul domniei regelui Rajendravarman ca templu hindus dedicat zeului Shiva.
Banteay Srei înseamnã „Citadela Femeilor” şi se spune cã treuie sã fi fost construit de o femee, sculpturile atât de elaborate fiind prea fine pentru mâna unui bãrbat.
