A west-facing site in this country is home to a massive (*) baray reservoir and a sandstone (10[1])bas relief depicting the Churning of the Ocean. In this country, a large square moat surrounds a three-tiered complex with a quincunx of towers representing (10[1])Mount Meru that was built for Suryavarman II.
