via Global Times, 08 February 2022: The Buddhas of the Bakan are being restored.
Cambodia’s Apsara National Authority (ANA) is restoring another three Buddha statues at Bakan tower of the famed Angkor Wat in the northwestern Siem Reap Province after the previous one was restored, the authority said.
Soy Sophearin, technical officer with the ANA’s Department of Conservation of Monuments and Preventive Archeology, said the restoration project of the Buddha statues began in early February and is scheduled to be completed within five months.
“The Buddha statues in Bakan tower had been damaged by natural factors and bats’ urine, a source of moisture and salinity,” he said.
