Banteay Srey

Banteay Sray is such a beautiful temple. I remember I liked it from last year, but forgot how beautiful it is. The d.esign is so intricately carved. More so than the other temples there is so much detail! It is nicknamed the "pink temple" because it is made of pink sandstone instead of white/yellow like the other temples. It is a Hindu temple. All the temples are either Hindu or Budhist, depending on who was king and what his religious preferences were. Some were a combination of both. Today, Cambodians are budhist, but they seemed to have combined the two. There is belifef is that Budha is the 9th reincarnation of Vishnu, the Hindu God. They are still waiting for the 10th and final reincarnation. Indian Hindu's do not agree with this.
