Going back to the twelfth century, the vast Buddhist cloister of Banteay Kdei was worked in an indistinguishable period from Ta Prohm fitting in with a comparable style with four concentric dividers that encase the focal asylum and four passageways embellished with garudas. Known as the 'fortress of chambers', the sanctuary is a money box of figures and amazing bas-reliefs of apsaras and moving young ladies. Worked from an assortment of stone materials, the sanctuary complex shows a scope of hues from warm peach tones to dark surfaces given a slight greenish tint by long periods of weathering.
Following a few centuries of disregard and vandalism, Banteay Kdei has been left in a ruinous state and is extensively less occupied than its neighbors, which alone makes it worth a visit. Based on a solitary level with firmly stuffed building structures, the sanctuary can without much of a stretch be investigated in less than a hour and can be joined with a speedy visit to Sra Srang - the Pool of Ablutions, once held for the ruler and his consorts. Estimating 800x400m, it's a shockingly appealing waterway and a prominent site to watch the dawn.
