temples of bayon

close to angkor wat lies this 12th century khemr mahayana buddhist temple...every niche, every door way, every window opens to a giant serene and smiling buddha face ...some say it is the face of jayavarman vii himself!

we met rain a couple of times during our visits to these temples...it definitely made the whole experience more scenic and romantic!

i'll take you around angkor thom in my next post!

angkor wat: siam reap

so i was on a holiday...a very long holiday these last couple of months...after a successful but rather short exhibition at the kitch mandi in bangalore on the 26th of june...i left for delhi...and then a month later i left for singapore to join a very overworked and bored husband who had a two month assignment there.  i explored singapore...some alone, some with husband and some with the wonderful friends: old and new!
the pics you saw in an earlier post remember? i do have many more...will share them with you sometime soon!
so after husband's project was over we went on a real vacation to cambodia and then thailand...cambodia first, a couple of days in phnom penh: capital and a couple in siam reap: home to the world heritage temples of angkor...and by far our most fav city in the entire trip!

i cannot begin to describe these beautiful temples and so i'll let the pictures do the talking (they don't do them much justice either)

me :)

amok served in a coconut bowl and rice....when i was there i was craving for dal makhani...and now....i miss all the lovely broths!
