The Compassionate symbolism of the Cat Temple
Prasat Banteay Chhmar original meaning mini citadel temple. In modern Khmer its name can be translated Temple of cats.
A figure frequent in carvings and bas-reliefs here is the Lokeshvara, the compassionate Bodhisattva.
Lokeshvara was given eleven heads to better hear the suffering of humans, and a thousand arms so he could reach out and help all.
The worship of Lokeshvara reached peak during Jayavarman VII.

The mini citadel temple in Banteay Meanchey
The temple complex of Prasat Banteay Chhmar is one of the largest from the Khmer Empire outside Angkor Thom.
Photo shows a cleared covered walkway from the west entrance.
Banteay Chhmar can be translated to “Mini/small fortress”. This temple is along the old Imperial Angkor Khmer Highway.
Prasat Banteay Chhmar is 3 hr drive out of Siem Reap. Suitable for a daytrip, and lodgings nearby.
