These are some of the better  preserved carvings inside Angkor Wat.
Apsaras are celestial beings (dancers) in Buddhist folklore. Images of apsaras and devatas are prominently found in Angkor Wat, Bayon, and Ta Prohm temples. Above, you can see that the figures are in very good shape. They’re even more outstanding when seen with your own two eyes.
