Siem Reap’s outskirts brim with temple ruins often overlooked in favor of the famous landmarks of Angkor. These obscure ruins played a pivotal role in the evolution of the Khmer Empire. One such unnoticed ruin is Banteay Chhmar, tucked away in the far north-west corner of the erstwhile Angkor kingdom. Banteay Chhmar, located approximately 60 kilometres away from Serey Sophoan, was built during the rule of Jayavarman VII in the 12th/13th century. The central temple once housed an idol of Srindrakumaraputra (the Crown Prince), likely a son of Jayavarman VII.
