Carvings of Apsaras (Sanskrit: अप्सरा) at several of the temples of Angkor Wat.

In Hindu and Buddhist culture, Apsaras are a type of female spirit of the clouds and waters, who later plays the role of a "nymph" or "fairy.” They are described to be beautiful, youthful and elegant, and are said to be able to change their shape at will.

In 1927, Sappho Marchal published a study cataloging the remarkable diversity of their hair, headdresses, garments, stance, jewelry and decorative flowers, which Marchal concluded were based on actual practices of the Angkor period. Some devatas appear with arms around each other and seem to be greeting the viewer. "The devatas seem to epitomize all the elements of a refined elegance," wrote Marchal.

Cambodia :

Seven-headed Naga King at the entrance of World's largest religious monument, Angkor Wat built by Hindu king Suryavarman II

This is a huge temple complex located near Siem Reap in Cambodia. It was built by Khmer kings more than a thousand years ago. The complex has a large number of temples. The main temple is the only one that is well preserved. Other temples are in ruins. There is an international effort to restore some of the temples. The temples must have looked majestic when they were built.

A large stones were cut precisely and placed over each other without any bonding material to hold them together. The Khmer kings embraced Hinduism and Buddhism. The carvings are delicate and superbly detailed.

Ruins don’t just teach us about the past, they can warn us about the future. Ta Prohm, a Khmer ruin in Cambodia, is a poignant warning of the dangers of climate change.

Greetings!! I just want to say that I absolutely love this. Since I was a kid, I always did the same thing with my bear (her name is bear bear). She's been all over the world. Last Christmas she got to visit Angkor Wat in Cambodia! It's nice to see that there's a fellow bear traveler out there!

:D Thank you! I hope that Bear Bear is doing well :) it is nice that there is another bear traveler out there!! I have run into some other furry travelers but honestly never a bear. I think people are missing out on all that a traveling companion has to offer. Teddy loved getting to see Angkor Wat! It was definitely a bucket list place and the different sculptures and carvings were so impressive. Teddy sends you and Bear Bear a furry little hug and hopes you both stay well :)

“Treasures of Cambodia” - 1/2/2024 + 1/3/2024

📍Angkor Wat, Siem Reap, Cambodia

The Angkor Wat, built in the 12th century, showcases the culture and history of Cambodia. It is the largest religious monument in the world. Originally a Hindu temple, it later became a Buddhist site. As I explored the complex and climbed to the top of temples, I found breathtaking views. There are intricate carvings, each telling a story of Hindu gods and heroes, showing the religious beliefs of this era. This complex of temples is very remarkable, each corner holds a sense of history and religion

Photographing nature near Angkor Wat was an enriching experience, connecting me with the natural world and surrounded by this ancient wonder. The reflective waters in front of the central temple were a mirror to nature’s beauty. As I stood captivated by the serene surface, I felt a connection to the surrounding landscape. The mirrored image of the temple and trees surrounding it seemed to blur the lines between reality and reflection. The stillness mirrored the quiet of my own mind. In moments of quiet observation, I felt a deep connection to the natural world. The sight of the turtles hidden in the forest and the large trees served as a reminder of the simple joys that surround me. This made me appreciate the pleasures of the world around me.
