Phnom Bakheng - Siem Reap Province

Developed: Late ninth – Early tenth century C.E.

Religion: Hindu (Shiva)

Ruler/Patron: Yasovarman I

Style: Bakheng

Phnom Bakheng was developed over two centuries before the Angkor Wat. It is a Hindu sanctuary initially constructed as a sanctuary mountain committed to Shiva. History specialists trust that Phnom Bakheng was in its prime, the key sanctuary of the Angkor district. It was the building centerpiece of another capital that Yasovarman constructed when he moved the court from the capital Hariharalaya in the Roluos range situated toward the southeast.

Situated on a slope, this is the most well known vacationer spot for nightfall perspectives of the much greater Angkor Wat sanctuary which lies in the midst of the wilderness around 1.5 km away.
