OF
LEPER

It's one of numerous Angkor's mystery.
This terrace owes its name to a small asexual statue that one
thinks of being the statue of king Yasovarman who'd have died
from the leprosy. But other explanation is that this statue would
represent Yama, the god of the deaths, and the terrace would
have been in fact a royal crematorium. On the highly-rated of
the terrace, a narrow and long trench and a quantity of magnificent
sculptures and preserved well, representing Apsaras, geniuses
and monsters, quantity of divinities, a surprising coolness and
beauty. This very long corridor, was completely restored, every
unsettled sculpture and resettled on the
new walls. To see absolutely..
