Banteay Kdei is a Buddhist temple located in the Angkor Archaeological Park in Cambodia. It was built in the late 12th century during the reign of King Jayavarman VII. The temple is characterized by its intricate carvings and large galleries that reflect the architectural style of the Bayon phase of Khmer architecture.
The name 'Banteay Kdei' translates to 'a citadel of chambers', which accurately describes its layout featuring numerous interconnected rooms and hallways. The temple complex is surrounded by a moat and features various types of stone, including sandstone and laterite. The sheer size of the temple is impressive, and visitors often marvel at its sprawling structure.
Banteay Kdei is less visited than some of the other temples in Angkor, making it a peaceful place to explore the ancient ruins. The temple grounds are adorned with lush vegetation, providing a serene atmosphere. Efforts to restore and conserve the temple have been ongoing, helping to preserve its historical significance and ensure that future generations can appreciate its beauty.
