Tour | Cambodia: Banteay Kdei Temple and The Bathing Pool for The King (online, livestream)


Learn about Banteay Kdei, a massive Buddhist monastery from the latter part of the 12th century, surrounded by four concentric walls. Each of its four entrances is decorated with garudas, which hold aloft one of Jayavarman VII's (king of the Khmer Empire) favourite themes: the four faces of Avalokiteshvara. The inside of the central tower was never finished and much of the temple is in a ruinous state due to hasty construction. East of Banteay Kdei is a vast pool of water, Sra Srang reserved as a bathing pool for the king and his consorts. A tiny island in the middle of Sra Srang once bore a wooden temple, of which only the stone base remains.
