Just About Everything

The first temple we saw in Siem Reap was the Pre Rup temple complex. After reaching Siem Reap in the late afternoon we rushed to buy our three day pass that would enable us to see as many temples as we could in the three days. We only had 3 days at Siem Reap, and wanted to make the most of our time there. With some daylight hours still there, we decided to catch the sunset at Pre Rup temple. We reached just in time to see the temple in the daylight hours, and catch the sunset as well. Here are some pictures of the Pre Rup temple and the sunset. It was a wonderful experience, and we got a taste of what is to come in the next three days! Finally a dream coming true:)   If you liked this post, you may like the following posts as well: Angkor Wat, Cambodia; Ancient, beautiful and one of the largest temple complexes in the world!

In continuation to my earlier post on  The Amazing Angkor Wat temple complex; Cambodia, Part I , I  am sharing some more pictures of this truly incredible temple complex. The pictures below  will give you an idea of how massive these temples are.  One of a kind and mesemerizing! There are quite a few panels where you can still see the original colour...so beautiful! You will find beautifully sculpted Apsaras in almost all the temples, each one unique. I was so impressed with the detailed and unique hairdos:)  

Angkor Wat temple complex Continued from my previous post on Angkor Wat , I am sharing these mesmerizing pictures of the Angkor wat temple complex. I have tried compile together some of the representative shots of the temple complex, but it does not do justice to this historic and out of the world, and amazing temple complex. ; The pictures below are a mere representation of the exquisite detailed work inside the temple complex walls. I was awestruck with the detailed carvings on the walls....even today it is in such a good condition...wonder how it would have looked during its prime! The murals below are found on the walls inside the temple complex, and they mostly depict scenes from the two great Hindu epics, The Ramayana and The Mahabharata. I will post the last set of pictures from this complex in my next post. Stay tuned:)
