Princess Norodom Bopha Devi is not just beautiful, but she is also the best apsara dancer in the world . She danced with her heart and soul, gracious, elegant and all. A true artist. It was as if she just walked out of Angkor wats stone sculpture and dance. A true apsara star.

[@Chansophornkhem]

Our princess shined like a star. Thank you so much for your royal service to our country. You'll always be remembered as our best Apsara forever

[@AshMukherjeeOfficial]

When I was quite young and the whole household would take their afternoon nap, I would get up and raid the wardrobe in which my mother would store all our winter clothes. From it I would create a motley ensemble, getting my hands on anything I could find that would help create with me, the joy, drama and intrigue that my heart so wanted to feel. I would emerge from behind the dark mahogany cupboards and step out onto the cool stone floor that awaited in front of me, with long silk trains flowing behind from my undulating hips and arms. Peacock feathers that were gathering dust in my grandfathers study, now proudly jutting out like an indigo sunrise behind two majestic snowy white mountains that was basically an old bra that I had quietly borrowed from my aunt bra to place on my head like a crown. All of this was rather ironically and neatly held together in place with my dads old University of Birmingham tie that was tied into a tidy masculine bow behind my neck. We did not have television, but my grandfather played his old records in the evening. I would memorize the rhythm in my heart so I could dress up and move silently and regally through the quiet, empty sunlit corridors of a crumbling Art Deco house that my grandfather had built in north Calcutta. I did not desire any audience as I devoured magic electric air lay in front of me, as I walked through it. I was my own muse, my own creator and creation and my own audience. After watching this I realize that I was going into a ‘state’. The state of the Apsara. The Apsara is not just an Eastern phenomenon. Artists like Erté and Hollywood costume designers like Adrian have unknowingly channeled her in their divine creations that celluloid apsaras like Garbo and Crawford would embody. The Apsara....She is at once wise yet capricious, she is elaborate yet perfectly measured. A divine fleeting paradox that will forever continue to step through the hearts of the children who can go mad with the utter pain and joy that both exist at once in this incredible stage we call Earth. May her feet walk through your heart and her bells awaken your soul. 🦚 🌏

งดงามมากครับ ขอน้อมถวายอาลัย เสด็จสู่สวรรคาลัย May her royal highness live peacefully in paradise.

[@nikolamitrovic323]

It was in 1966, she was 23 years old, she "retired" in 1975, doing that for more than 15 years, after the horrible and monsterous Khmer Rouge regime, then when Cambodia gradually recovered somewhere from '90s from that awful genocide, skulls, deaths, extreme famine, she returned, but as a teacher, professor and mentor for Apsara traditional dance. She was a beauty really, natural bronze ten, not unnatural white like all Asian women today, especially darker ones in south Asia are sick for and obsesed with bleaching skin face and arm cremes that can cause skin complexion damage and are not for joke or play, can be dangerous and even toxic for skin. Nice dancing.

This is a combination of Balinese music, the slowness of Tari Serimpi from the Yogyakarta Javanese , the eye movements of the Balinese dancers, and the head dress of the Palembang South Sumatra tribe (of course the Khmer royal head dress is more glamorous)

[@rm3520]

A beautiful combination.

[@gold-toponym]

It is part of the Austroasiatic culture spectrum, to which Javanese, Malay, Sundanese, Balinese, Dayak, share part of. With some Indian and Austronesian elements. Javanese Balinese Sundanese, Peninsular Malay have ~50% Austroasiatic ancestry. Borneons and Sumatrans also have 50-30% or more/less. Based on recent DNA test, and similarity of cultures you can clearly compare between Austronesian and Indian components. In Western Indonesia the culture more resembles Austroasiatic culture with layers of Austronesian added elements and Indian. Truer Austronesian culture is nearer to Sabah/Sulawesi, parts of Borneo, Philippines, then to Taiwan; Polynesian elements are more ancient Austronesian too.
