Banteay Srei, the 'citadel of beauty', is a 10th-century Cambodian temple dedicated to the Hindu god Shiva, consecrated on 22 April 967 AD, and the only major temple at Angkor not built by a monarch but credited to two important courtiers, Vishnukumara and Yajnavaraha. It lies near the hill of Phnom Dei, 25 km northeast of the main temple group that once belonged to the medieval capitals of Yasodharapura and Angkor Thom. Originally, it carried the name Tribhuvanamaheshvara—great lord of the threefold world—in reference to the Shaivite linga that served as its central religious image. The temple's modern name, Banteay Srei, means 'citadel of women' or 'citadel of beauty'.
Literature comparison: Compare a sandstone lintel with a central kala head, dated ca. mid-10th century, in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, accession number 1994.111.
