Phnom Da is a historic site about three kilometers southeast from Angkor Borei. Together, they formed the capital of the Funan Empire in the 6th century. The site holds the oldest surviving temples, Khmer and Sanskrit inscriptions, as well as what are possibly the earliest stone statues in the region, dated to the 6th century and assumed to have originated during the reign of King Rudravarman (r. 514-539). These sculptures appear to predate the stone temples in Angkor Borei; the oldest standing Khmer stone temple (late 6th century) may have been preceded by wooden Hindu temples.

Literature comparison:
Compare two closely related sandstone figures of Rama and Balarama, 180 cm and 186 cm high, from the Phnom Da sanctuary in Takéo province and now in the collection of the National Museum of Cambodia, inventory numbers Ka.1638 and Ka.1640, both exhibited by the Cleveland Museum of Art, in Revealing Krishna: Journey to Cambodia’s Sacred Mountain, 14 November 2021-30 January 2022. Compare a closely related sandstone figure of Krishna lifting Mount Govardhan, 203 cm high, dated 6th century, in the Cleveland Museum of Art, accession number 1973.106.
