Srah Srang
Srah Srang (Khmer: ស្រះស្រង់) is a baron or reservoir in Angkor, Cambodia, located south of East Baray and east of Banteay Kdei. It was excavated in the middle of the tenth century, on the initiative of Kavindrarimathana, Buddhist minister of Rajendravarman II. [1] Later, it was modified around 1200 by Jayavarman VII, [125] which also added the laterite landing stage on the west side, probably because the East Baray had been dominated by sediments and had begun to function bad. [3] French archaeological expeditions have found a necropolis near it.
Srah Srang (Khmer: ស្រះស្រង់) is a baron or reservoir in Angkor, Cambodia, located south of East Baray and east of Banteay Kdei.
It was excavated in the middle of the tenth century, on the initiative of Kavindrarimathana, Buddhist minister of Rajendravarman II. [1] Later, it was modified around 1200 by Jayavarman VII, [125] which also added the laterite landing stage on the west side, probably because the East Baray had been dominated by sediments and had begun to function bad. [3] French archaeological expeditions have found a necropolis near it.
Currently, Srah Srang measures 700 by 350 m and is still partially flooded. Like other bardias, there might have been a temple on an artificial island in the middle of it, as suggested by finding a basement. The landing, opposite the entrance of Banteay Kdei, is a popular site to see the sunrise. It is cruciform, flanked by balustrades nāga that end with the vertical head of a serpent, mounted by a garuda with the wings unfolded. The steps leading up to the water are flanked by two guardian lions.
A 1600-square-meter cemetery was discovered in the northwest corner of the reservoir. The burial jars containing cremated remains and other artifacts dating from the reign of Udayadityavarman II were excavated by B.P. Groslier. [2]: 104
