Sancified on 22 April 967 A.D. Bantãy Srĕi was the main significant sanctuary at Angkor not manufactured by a ruler; its development is credited to the subjects named Vishnukumara and Yajnavaraha/Yajñavarāha (cutting edge Khmer), who served as an instructor to lord Rajendravarman II (present day Khmer:).The foundational stela says that Yajnavaraha, grandson of lord Harsavarman I, was a researcher and humanitarian who helped the individuals who experienced disease, foul play, or neediness. His student was the future ruler Jayavarman V (r. 968-ca. 1001). Initially, the sanctuary was encompassed by a town called Īśvarapura.
Yajñavarāha's sanctuary was fundamentally committed to the Hindu god Śiva. Initially, it was conveyed the name Tribhuvanamaheśvara awesome ruler of the triple world in reference to the Shaivite linga that served as its focal religious picture. Then again, the sanctuary structures seem, by all accounts, to be separated along the focal east-west hub between those structures found south of the hub, which are given to Śiva, and those north of the pivot, which are committed to Viṣṇu.
The sanctuary's cutting edge name, Bantãy Srĕi bastion of the ladies, or fortification of magnificence is presumably identified with the unpredictability of the bas alleviation carvings found on the dividers and the small measurements of the structures themselves. Some have estimated that it identifies with the numerous devatas cut into the dividers of the structures.
