Siem Reap, Cambodia

The Apsarases, known as the heavenly maiden of Angkor Wat.
An Apsaras, is a female spirit of the clouds and waters in Hindu and Buddhist mythology. Despite ending in -s, "apsaras" is to be construed as singular. The English plural is "apsarases". There are around 2000 Apsarases in Angkor Wat and each of them are unique.
