Srah Srang

Sras Srang was dug in the mid-10th century, by initiative of Kavindrarimathana, Buddhist minister of Rajendravarman II.

[1] It was modified around the year 1200 by Jayavarman VII,[2]: 125  who added the laterite landing-stage at its western side, probably because the East Baray had been overwhelmed by sediment and had begun malfunctioning.

As other barays, maybe there was a temple standing on an artificial island in the middle of it, as suggested by finding of a basement.

It is cruciform, flanked by nāga balustrades which end with the upright head of a serpent, mounted by a garuda with its wings unfurled.

Mortuary jars containing cremated remains and other artifacts dating from the reign of Udayadityavarman II were excavated by B.P.
