Srah Srang, Ancient reservoir in Angkor, Cambodia

The 700-meter by 300-meter stone reservoir features a cross-shaped landing stage made of laterite with sandstone moldings and decorative serpent balustrades.

King Rajendravarman II ordered the construction of Srah Srang in the mid-10th century, with King Jayavarman VII adding modifications in the early 13th century.

The reservoir incorporates stone carvings of mythological figures, including a Garuda riding a three-headed serpent at the front of the platform.

Visitors can reach Srah Srang by following the road east past Prasat Kravan, with the site located directly across from Banteay Kdei's entrance.

Archaeological evidence suggests the presence of a temple on an artificial island within the reservoir, displaying similar stonework to East Mebon.
