Banteay Samré, Hindu temple in Siem Reap, Cambodia.
The structure features a central sanctuary tower surrounded by two concentric gallery enclosures and connected by a raised causeway stretching 200 meters eastward.
Construction of Banteay Samré began during the reign of Suryavarman II in the early 12th century and continued under Yasovarman II's leadership.
The temple walls display detailed sandstone carvings depicting scenes from Hindu mythology, particularly stories from the Ramayana epic.
Visitors need an Angkor Archaeological Park pass to access the temple, which remains open from 7:30 AM to 5:30 PM daily.
Maurice Glaize conducted extensive restoration work between 1936 and 1944, reconstructing the eastern terrace and central shrine using original stones.
