The restoration team from the Department of Conservation of Monuments and Preventive Archaeology of the APSARA National Authority is restoring the Naga balustrade on the ground floor in the south of Angkor Wat to avoid high risk.

 

Archaeologist of the Department of Temple Preservation and Archaeology, Say Sophearin, said that the Naga balustrade and sandstone pedestals of Angkor Wat at the southern staircase are nearly a thousand years old. About 10 meters long, there is a high risk that some spots have broken stones and their foundations have been washed away by the rain, causing large stones to separate, making it very prone to the collapse of the Naga head.

 

He said that since the beginning of July, the team has temporarily dismantled the Naga balustrade, after the approval of Adhoc experts, and from the beginning of August, the team began to dismantle the staircase platform to remove the cracked stones, clean them, and put them back in their original position.
