Devata.org is an independent research organization working to decode an archaeological mystery at the 12th century Khmer temple of Angkor Wat in Cambodia. Angkor Wat protects one of the world's most unique treasures: nearly 2000 detailed portrait carvings of 12th century women.

Who were these women? Why were they enshrined in this temple at such great expense? What information do their complex accouterments, poses and symbolism convey?

No one knows the identity of a single woman depicted at Angkor Wat, or what meaningful data the images contain.

In the course of this investigation Devata.org presents a wide range of information about Southeast Asian art, culture, history, temples, religions and people. Visit our site to learn more:
