Baksei Chamkrong

Located southwest of the south gate of Angkor Thom, Baksei Chamkrong is a small Hindu temple dedicated to Lord Shiva. Like virtually all of the structures of Angkor, Baksei Chamkrong opens to the east. In the early 10th century, Harshavarman I erected five statues in this temple: two of Shiva, one of Vishnu and two of Devi.

As one of the few brick edifices in the immediate vicinity of Angkor, Baksei Chamkrong is one of the first temples constructed of durable material such as bricks and laterite and with decoration in sandstone. It has a 13m-high pyramid. The main sandstone lintel of Baksei Chamkrong is adorned with a fine carving of Indra standing on his three-headed elephant Airavata.
