The outer wall of Angkor Wat is carved with bas-reliefs of various scenes, mostly from Hinduism. This one is the battle of Kurukshetra, from the Mahabharata; this is one of the generals riding an elephant. The scale is astonishing: there are eight bas reliefs, totalling eight hundred meters in length. That's a lotta stonecutters. |
