The Other Side Of The 5 Towers

Angkor Wat, Cambodia

I am not sure what this section is called at the Wat. Basically I can't find any similar pictures to allow me the chance to put up an illustration of this part of the place. All I got to know from this Caucasian lady was this is a place where the people of Angkor would stand and face the four faces of the compass ie. North, South, East and West. Correct me if I am wrong with this illustration. I am merely recalling back what I heard or remembered. It's a form of a ritual prayer to the Gods and it's supposed to be good. But what interest me most was her silhouette against the back light.
