Description : Baksei Chamkrong is a 12-meter tall
brick and laterite pyramid. Combine with a visit to the South Gate and
Phnom Bakheng. Lighting is best in the morning. Harshavarman I began
construction or perhaps dedicated statues at the site. The temple was
later improved/restored by Rajendravarman II shortly after the capital
was returned to Angkor from Koh Ker.
According to inscriptions on the doorway
Rajendravarman consecrated the temple with the installation of golden
Shiva image in 947AD. It may have also served as funerary temple.
