Also recorded as Wat Saravan, it is a monastery and contemporary pagoda located in central Phnom Penh. It features some beautiful stupa/chedi, ornate sema stones embedded into the pagoda walls, with beautiful murals inside.
In the 1930s, the French researcher, Parmentier, mentioned a Ganeca statue seen here. I believe a collection of Pali manuscripts were also found here.
