Khmer sculptors produced figural images of divinities in response to the international religions – Hinduism and Buddhism – that had arrived in mainland Southeast Asia already by the fifth century. Indian traders and traveling priests subsequently brought knowledge of Shiva, Vishnu, and other Hindu gods to this region.
