Phnom Kulen and Banteay Srei temple

Phnom Kulen (Kulen Mountain) is widely regarded as the birthplace of the Angkorian Empire and the sacred mountain where King Jayavarman II (770–835 AD) would proclaim independence from the Sriwijaya Kingdom and be anointed as Chakravartin (God-King/King of Kings). It would be here where Jayavarman II would build his capital Mahendraparvata (‘mountain of great Indra’) and set in motion the beginning of one of the world’s greatest empires. In the centuries that followed, the world’s largest pre-industrial city, Angkor, and the world’s largest religious monument, Angkor Wat, would be built on the plains below.

The superb temple of Banteay Srei, located in the plain at the foot of the Kulen Mountain range, is considered one of the finest temple in Cambodia.
