The Silver Pagoda is located on the south side of the Royal Palace in Chey Chumneas, Phnom Penh.
The wall that surrounds the structures is covered with murals of the Reamker painted in 1903-1904 by Cambodian artists directed by the architect of the Silver Pagoda Oknha Tep Nimit Mak.
The cremated remains of Norodom Sihanouk are interred in the stupa of Kantha Bopha located on the temple's compound.
This palladium honors the shared history with the Lan Xang dynasty of Laos, with a form resembling that of the Phra Bang.
Today, these paintings are in a state of disrepair and are slowly disappearing due to weather and rock-eating germs, as well as human-caused vandalism.
With a royal decree from His Majesty King Norodom Sihanouk, in 2015, the project was revived with the cooperation of a group of foreign and Cambodian craftsmen, which has restored the original vibrancy and definition of the myriad figures, buildings, and vegetation depicted throughout.
