A view of Banteay Srei Temple

0.0 x 0.0 cm

Source: Wiki Banteay Srei (Khmer: បន្ទាយស្រី [ɓɑntiəj srəj]) is a 10th century ce Cambodian temple dedicated to the Hindu god Shiva and Parvati. Located in the area of Angkor, it lies near the hill of Phnom Dei, 25 km (16 mi) north-east of the main group of temples that once belonged to the medieval capitals of Yaśodharapura and Angkor Thom. [1] Banteay Srei is built largely of red sandstone, a medium that lends itself to the elaborate decorative wall carvings which are still observable today. I felt the red-sandstone work on the temple would be a good inspiration to put it as a sketch work with lots of scope of hatching strokes & shading.
