Siem Reap, Cambodia – This huge temple city, once filled with acolytes, now rests in the lush jungles of northern Cambodia. Today acolytes are few, but sacred images of Khmer women still dominate and protect the temple with their auspicious presence.
Some woman are exposed to the burning tropical sun, but many stand hidden in shadowed alcoves, seen by few visitors. These photos introduce a few of the “Devata of the Shadows.”
