Ã¢â¬ÅThe lady templeÃ¢â¬Â, Ã¢â¬Åthe tiny templeÃ¢â¬Â, Ã¢â¬Åthe pink templeÃ¢â¬Â; Banteay Srei goes by many nicknames, an indication of the distinctiveness of this little gem of a temple, which feels so different to the imposing grandeur of the main Angkorian complex. Originally called Tribhuvanamahesvara, the name Banteay Srei or Banteay Srey is a modern one, meaning Ã¢â¬Åcitadel of the womenÃ¢â¬Â or, Ã¢â¬Åcitadel of beautyÃ¢â¬Â. People speculate that this is due to its miniature scale, the pink colour of the limestone, and the elaborate decorative carvings of many devatas minor female deities that grace its walls.
