Nose Kissing Experience

Siem Reap, Cambodia

The Bayon is a temple at Angkor, Cambodia. It was built in the 13th century as the state temple of king Jayavarman VII, and stands at the centre of his capital, Angkor Thom. Its most distinctive feature is the multitude of smiling faces on the towers which rise up to its central peak. It also possesses two sets of bas-reliefs, which depict an unusual combination of mythological, historical and mundane events. There are 49 towers located in Bayon originally. And each tower has 4 faces. This angle in particular is interesting in the sense that the nose of these two images touched each other like - kissing.
