Hindu temple in Siem Reap, Cambodia From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kutisvara or Kdei So (Khmer: ប្រាសាទកុដិស្វរៈ ឬ ក្តីសូរ[1]) is a small brick temple consisting of three towers in ruined condition. It is the site of Kuti, mentioned in the stele of Sdok Kok Thom in connection with the 9th century of Jayavarman II. Besides, an inscription found on a stone reused for the building of Banteay Kdei next door mentions dedication to Shiva and the erection of two statues of Vishnu and Brahma by Shivacarya, one of Rajendravarman's priests in the 10th century.
