967 AD Rajendravarman II Jayavarman V Hindu (Shiva) 25 kilometres to the north east of Angkor Thom. A jewel to which the nature of the material used – a finely textured rose coloured 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.
