Angkor, Relief III

Apsaras, halbgöttliche Wesen, spielen in der Mythologie der Khmer eine wichtige Rolle.

Hier eine Szene der südlichen Ostgalerie

Originaltext der lokalen Infotafel:
The reliefs sculpted on the southern section of this eastern gallery represent the "Churning of the Sea of Milk", a popular episode from Vishnu lore. The Gods (northern part) and the Demons (southern part) use the serpent Vasuki as a cord wound around Mount Mandara, emerging from the Sea, pulling alternately on either end of the serpent, together they churn the Sea of Milk in order to extract the nectar of immortality. Seizing the nectar as it is formed, the Gods are victorious, and thus thereafter immortal.
