The Story of the Ramayana Spanning an Entire Wall

The corridors surrounding the Silver Pagoda within the royal palace are adorned with exquisite and intricate murals depicting the Cambodian mythological tale of the Ramayana (locally known as Reamker). These murals stretch over 600 meters in length and were painted in the early 20th century, showcasing traditional Khmer artistic techniques and vibrant colors. The exceptional craftsmanship of the artisans of that era is evident in the detailed depictions of gods and heroes in each scene of the story. Observing these murals offers an immersive experience, as if stepping into the legendary world of the Ramayana.
