What an incredible place! That wall depicting wartime stories was my favourite. I can see some resemblance to my culture as well. Using Elephants in battles was a sick move. I have heard that in those times, the fleet of war elephants would terrify the enemy to a great extent. I am digressing. Sorry!
I would love to go and take a closer look at all the carvings. This would have been a magnificent structure in its time. Mad respect for those sculptures and architects. Thanks, @storiesoferne for the virtual tour. 💙
Hello @pravesh0. Certainly, the remarkable bas-reliefs, engravings, and carvings of the Bayon temple have become more interesting due to their narrative presentation. You won't believe the staggering amount of sculptural details the Khmer craftsmen have dedicated to producing these astonishing visual galleries. Yes, these majestic elephants were known to be machines of warfare during the ancient times, and their popularity during strategic battles must have spread to neighboring Asian countries. Thus we witness their legendary depictions across related cultures. 👍
Though your country of India is also home to lots of incredible historic temples, I definitely encourage you to visit Cambodia for a different kind of architecture experience. Thanks a lot for being here! 😊
