Building date: Late 13th century A.D.
Religion: N/A
Style: Bayon
King: Jayavarman VIII
Location: Angkor Archaeological Park - Angkor Thom
An architecturally unimpressive temple; however a historically significant small structure. Also called 'Monument 487' and 'Mangalartha' in recognition of a powerful monk - Jayamangalartha, who was the son of one of Jayavarman VII's Brahman monks. Initially commissioned by Jayavarman VII, it was not consecrated until 1295AD, decades following his death. This temple was the last Brahmanic temple integrated into the Angkor area, signaling an end to the era. Built at the historically hazy era of Hindu resurgence following the death of King Jayavarman VII.
