Somehow, the golden yellow blends well with the Sandstone Architecture.

It was nice to see they always put their traditional attire whenever they go to temples.

Balinese temple architecture is unique and I love how the gates are shaped. The temple was busy as it’s popular but I managed to see this woman alone, offering prayers.

These sculptured towers are very unique to Cambodian Architecture as they used several sandstones to craft it.

People usually grow up hair for a few weeks or months and would shave off at the temples.

This sculpture was hidden among the encroachments but revealed once they’re cleared recently. It’s a rare sculpture depicting the mythical story where Lord Shiva slayed a demon that came in the form of elephant. This Puthu Mandapam was built during the early 1620 CE Nayak rule.
