West-facing facade of the north sanctuary tower
The north sanctuary tower is in the inner enclosure of the Banteay Sei Temple located 16 miles northeast of Siem Reap, Cambodia. It has multi-level pediments. The bas-relief on the bottom pediment depicts Varuna, the sky god, riding three hamsas (swans) and the lintel depicts Kubera carried by a man (Kubera’s vehicle is a man). The doorway has a beautifully decorated false door. On both sides of the door, devatas are guarding it.
