Gate leading to the temple of the Leper King & Elephant Terrace

The wall carvings on the terrace. This was built for one of the kings who was believed to be a leper.

Built in late 12th Century by Jayavarman VII.

Show of marine life and devatas.

Picture above: The top of the picture shows deities carrying swords and devatas. Below the layers are the garudas.

You will see this statue as you climb up the terrace. There are some abnormalities of the statue which later led to the belief that it was the leper king.

A foreigner lady cycling past the terrace. By the way, there are many foreigner women (me included) who cycle around Angkor, some alone.

From there, you can walk to the Elephant Terrace. You will pass by the area like the picture above on your way there.
