TAKEO TEMPLE IN SIEM REAP PROVINCE,KINGDOM OF CAMBODIA 🇰🇭
✍️✍️History
King Khmer Jayavarman V was ten years old when he got his father,king Khmer Rajendravarman,in 968.His early years of reign were quite turbulent and court officials dominated Royal politics.When he was seventeen years old (in 975).he began construction of his own state temple ,whose modern name is Ta Keo temple,which was delicated some time around 1000.In contemporary inscriptions it is called Hemagiri or Hemasringari(the mountain with gold summits).it reminded unfinished until the reign of king Khmer Suriyavarman I. Yogisvarapandita ,a high priest who became minister of Suriyavarman l and “received “ his temple many years later,say inscriptions that a lightening attack struck unfinished building,an evil omen ,then the works stopped.perhaps the works stopped simply because of the death of Jayavarman V,as there was a struggle for successions.in fact,the temple worked continuously as a center of worship until the 13 th country and even Yogisvarapandita worshiped the shrines in the first level of the temple.
A term closely linked to Hemasringari is Jayendrangari(which in Sanskrit language means “capital of the victorious king”,the royal palace or perhaps the new capital of Jayavarman V .however ,the remains of this great joint hypothesis are very scarce.Today,only one tower in the south west survives,similar to the corner towers of Ta Keo temple ,with an unusual single door to the south.

Beautiful Khmer Couple with Khmer Sbai wedding traditional costumes of the Kingdom of Cambodia 🇰🇭💕
What is the Sbai traditional costumes of Cambodia?
The Sbai is a Khmer word and it is used to refer to a female garment in Khmer Empire territory. The term Sbai is used for a woman's silk breast wrapper in Cambodia, in Central Thailand and in Laos.The Sbai is well known as a long piece of silk, about a foot wide and that is all draped diagonally from around the chest covering one shoulder and while leaving one shoulder bare which its end drops behind the back and it can even be worn with a blouse too.
Sbai may have been derived from of an Indian garment called Sari. But in fact, there are of related mythology in the Khmer Culture, retained a history of Sbai which it can likely to be invented since the 1st Century of the Funan era in Cambodia's history. Preah Thong and Neang Neak a legend which share a common with the founder of Funan era
and there is an important little rite within of the marriage ceremony called Preah Thong Taong Sbai Neang Neak, a symbolic representation of the legend as the groom must hang or cling to that of the bride's Sbai from behind her and he must follow her to the room for a honeymoons !

Indonesia 🇮🇩🦅Inspired by the beautiful art of weaving, 𝗧𝗮𝗿𝗶 𝗧𝗲𝗻𝘂𝗻 was created in 1957 by I Nyoman Ridet and I Wayan Likes.
The dance movements imitate movements that are made during weaving. Since weaving is the symbol of perserverance and harmony, #TariTenun is here to remind people of this beautiful cultural heritage. Tari Tenun also stands out thanks to its bright and colorful outfit and its unique headdresses.
Bali has also broken a record of MURI at Petitenget Festival 2018 with the highest number of Tari Tenun dancers as many as 2000 female dancers. Imagine thousands of dancers dancing beautifully in unision with a beach and sunset backdrop. What a stunning and epic moment to witness!

Chapei Dang Veng of Cambodia on the List of Intangible Cultural Heritage in Need of Urgent Safeguarding🇰🇭
Chapei Dang Veng is a Cambodian musical tradition closely associated with the life, customs and beliefs of the Cambodian people.It features the chapei (a type of lute often played at cultural festivals) accompanied by singing. Song lyrics range from the educational and a type of social commentary,to satire while incorporating traditional poems, folk tales or Buddhist stories. The tradition is considered to have multiple functions within Cambodian communities, such as safeguarding traditional rituals; transmitting social, cultural and religious knowledge and values; providing exposure to the old Khmer language; creating a space for social and political commentary; entertaining; connecting generations; and building social cohesion. Apart from musical talent, skills required to be a chapei player include wit, the ability to improvise and be a good storyteller. While performers are generally male, there are no gender restrictions on who can play the chapei. Transmitted orally within families and informal master-apprentice relationships, today the art form is practised by few performers and even fewer masters exist. The Khmer Rouge regime severely affected the bearer population and disrupted transmission of the practice with long-term implications as communities now face the prospect of a tradition that could potentially disappear.
SOUNDS OF ANGKOR is dedicated to the ancient and traditional music and dance of Cambodia. It is an invitation to discover 2500 years of religious and secular music.

According to 🇮🇩 Indonesian media, Tony Jaa from 🇹🇭 Thailand looks like a Javanese man and probably has Indonesian ancestry because he "doesn't look Thai"
Tony Jaa is a Thai martial artist, actor, action choreographer, stuntman, director, and traceur. Best known for his martial arts films, he is credited with helping establish the Thai action genre worldwide.
According to some comments from Indonesian netizens Tony Jaa doesn't look like a typical Thai but Javanese look and blend easily in Indonesia. Many Indo netizens assumed Tony Jaa probably has Javanese blood since Javanese people migrated to Thailand in the past and 116 year-old Jawa Mosque exist in in Bangkok CBD, Thailand.
However, Tony Jaa was born and raised in a rural area in Surin Province and not from Bangkok.

Pchum ben was originally related to the Chol Vassa festival, celebrating the end of the rainy season.
During the reign of Jayavarman VII, the monks walked to ask for alms regardless of the weather during the rainy season, injuring themselves in bad conditions.
Being a firm Buddhist King. He felt compelled to provide to the monks medicines, food, shelter and clothing, asking them not to give alms for three months during this period. What has become a tradition, with stories and tales created around the party.
A story tells the story of a powerful monk flying over hell on a giant lotus open, unarmed and preaching dharma to the souls of the dead. He saw that they were suffering from the fires of hell, starvation and disease. On his return he informed their loved ones, their parents were living in suffering
Saying that in order to free them from their pain from hell, the living must do good deeds and offerings to the monks.
Yama the king of hell will release them for 14 days. All souls cursed so that they may reap the good deeds of their descendants and savour earthly food (far from the famine of underworld)
This monk told King Jayavarman VII to order all the inhabitants of the nation to celebrate Kan ben, dedicating 15 days to their parents who died during the rainy season. The tradition of Kan ben and Pchum ben has existed since then
Since then, many cakes and candy plants have been prepared to honour our elders and bring them to the monks
Based on a number of documents indicated that in the period of Jayavarman VII, Cambodia practiced Hinduism and most of its materials were associated with religion, for example, Num Ansom.
In Hinduism, the Num Ansom represents as Shivalinga, while Num Kom represents as Yoni-Sakthi, consort of Shiva. That is why we always see this kind of Num Ansom in the festival, along with “Num Kom”, a traditional Khmer cake. Because of Hinduism is embedded in every Khmer mindset (Buddhism does not bring the cakes to throw or worship, there is only Hinduism), Khmer people only offer these cakes to the monks, which makes the two religions mixed together as we see today.
“Num Ansom” have been existed from ancient times in traditional Khmer bakery and have been seen in this way in Khmer traditional festivals such as Khmer New Year. Pchum Ben, Wedding ceremonies, and some other religious ceremonies. The way that brings these cakes goes to pagodas during Pchum Ben festival as well as other festivals associated with Hinduism.
