No two Apsara carvings are silimar.


The Apsaras infact were beautiful maidens trained as court dancers in king's palace. They were bare breasted in those days  but the modern apsaras we saw 
in Siem Riep wear body fitting blouse.


Everywhere one can see the celestial nymphs called the Apsaras carved on walls.


The Angkor temples are richly carved with figurines and flower patterns as seen here.



Tipin and the mythical snake Sheshnag with multiheads .
