According to the tour guide this temple was ransacked during and after the war. Before that it was a temple like no other. And I would agree it is so picturesque. IMG_20171121_073933.jpg
Though small compared to other temples I was most impressed by this site because of its color when it's struck by sunlight as well the exquisiteness of the stone carvings.

What it lacks for distance it compensate with its beauty. I can go on hours and hours examining the details but since it was a group tour everybody was time bonded.Nevertheless it's an awesome experience.
