East-facing facade of the north sanctuary tower
The north sanctuary tower is in the inner enclosure of the Bantaey Sei Temple situated 16 miles northeast of Siem Reap, Cambodia. It has multi-level pediments and a lintel above the door. The bottom-most scene on the pediment most likely depicts Bhima killing Jarasandha – who was the king of Magadha- by splitting his body into two. The lintel shows Indra riding his vehicle three headed elephant Airavata.
