Siem Reap, Cambodia – This huge temple city, once filled with as many as 100,000 acolytes, now rests peacefully in the lush jungle of northern Cambodia.
Today acolytes are few, but sacred images of Khmer women still abound, protecting the temple with their auspicious presence.
The sacred woman in this photo gallery have been exposed to harsh tropical sun for more than 700 years but still retain their charm and mystery. For comparison, be sure to visit the other devata temple photo galleries.
The brilliant colors of the friendly Preah Khan devata pictured at the right are natural, but enhanced by increasing the camera’s color saturation.

Absolutely stunning. This collection of Apsaras and Devatas is unequaled anywhere and definitely gives a flavor for this amazing Kingdom which spread over many nations equaling the empires of Rome and Greece.
