at 70mm, 1/30 f/6.3, ISO 250, hand held. Angkor, Cambodia.

La scultura raffigura un Naga, un essere divino a forma di serpente che nella mitologia induista e buddista simboleggia la protezione e il passaggio tra i mondi. I Naga sono un elemento architettonico comune nei templi di Angkor, dove spesso fiancheggiano i ponti e le passerelle, fungendo da guardiani. Le porte sono fiancheggiate da file di statue di divinità e demoni che raffigurano la "zangolatura dell'oceano di latte", un mito induista. Il tempio, delimitato da un canale perimetrale fu realizzato con ben quattro muri di cinta.

Sotto: l'immagine mostra una statua di un Asura (demone) che fa parte del "Churning of the Sea of Milk", una scultura che si trova all'ingresso del tempio di Preah Khan, in Cambogia.

Sotto: le tre immagini rappresentano l'accesso garantito da quattro porte ornamentali – Gopura – poste in corrispondenza dei punti cardinali, ognuna delle quali è decorata con 54 statue di Deva (angeli) e 54 statue di Asura (demoni), protagonisti dell'epica battaglia per Amrita.

Sotto: un'antica scultura Khmer che mostra il dio indù Vishnu che si reclinava mentre la sua consorte, la dea, Lakshmi, massaggia i suoi piedi. Tempio di Preah Khan, Angkor,

questi demoni Asura e angeli Deva tengono per la coda i serpenti Naga attorcigliati ad un palo, ognuno un tira dalla parte opposta producendo la montatura o "zangolatura dell'oceano di latte" un mito induista del periodo Khmer ;-)
