Banteay Srei is a 10th-century Cambodian temple dedicated to the Hindu god Shiva.<\/p>\n

Banteay Srei is built largely of red sandstone, a medium that lends itself to the elaborate decorative wall carvings which are still observable today. The buildings themselves are miniature in scale, unusually so when measured by the standards of Angkorian construction.<\/p>\n

Consecrated on 22 April 967 A.D., Bant\u00e3y Sr\u0115i was the only major temple at Angkor not built by a monarch.<\/p>\n

The site consists of three concentric rectangular enclosures constructed on an east\u2013west axis. A causeway situated on the axis leads from an outer gopura, or gate, to the third or outermost of the three enclosures. The inner enclosure contains the sanctuary, consisting of an entrance chamber and three towers, as well as two buildings conventionally referred to as libraries.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
