Banteay Srei Temple offers over ten inscriptions that provide essential information about the temple which was founded in the 10th century (967 AD) and recorded as Tribhuvanamahesvara in the town Isvarapura, and dedicated to the Shiva cult and the Linga of the then central shrine.

Banteay Srei is built largely of red sandstone while laterite is used for the enclosure walls, causeways, and in some of the structures. Wood was also originally used in the roofs along with tiles in some buildings and for also support beams. Brick is also used in places, including for some roofs which were formed with corbelled brick, and can also be seen in the west gopura of the inner enclosure.

In the future, he plans to teach more than 10 students who like this engraving, as he will be paid by the Ministry of Culture and Fine arts.
