AD. Rajendravarman II Jayavarman V Hindu (Shiva)A
temple in the forest 25 Kilometers to the norht east of
Angkor Thom. A jewel to which the nature of the
material used - a finely textured rose colored sandstone
- is perfectly suited. Monumental size and architectural
theme give way to a miniature scale and a dense and
exquisite detail in near perfect preservation.
Dismantled and reconstructed between 1931 and 1936. Good
in the morning but check security before visiting.
