Cambodia: Indra tries to put out a fire in the Khadava forest by sending rain (scene from the Hindu epic, Mahabharata), east pediment from the north library, Banteay Srei (Citadel of the Women), Angkor.

Banteay Srei (or Banteay Srey) is a 10th century Cambodian temple dedicated to the Hindu god Shiva and is located to the north-east of the main group of temples at Angkor. Banteay Srei is built largely of red sandstone, a medium that lends itself to the elaborate decorative wall carvings which are still observable today. Banteay Srei is sometimes referred to as the 'jewel of Khmer art.'.
