Summary

Description

Gardiens à têtes d'animaux du sanctuaire central coté sud assis sur les échiffres de l'escalier est

Le sanctuaire central est situé au centre de la première enceinte, il est construit sur une terrasse en forme de T et composé de trois tours.

______________

Banteay Srei veut dire "citadelle des femmes", c'est le nom moderne du temple d'Ishvarapura, "ville du seigneur".

Il a été construit en grès rose, un matériau très résistant qui a permis - d'une part de réaliser des décors d'une grande finesse - d'autre part, de les conserver jusqu'à nos jours.

Ce temple est consacré au dieu "seigneur suprême des trois mondes" en 967, à la fin du règne du roi Rajendravarman II (944-968). Il a été construit par l'un des conseillers du roi.

Banteay Srei a été rendu célèbre par André Malraux qui, en 1923, tenta d'y voler quatre Apsaras.
