Terrace of the Leper King

The Terrace of the Leper King (or Leper King Terrace; Khmer: ព្រះលានស្តេចគម្លង់ Preah Lean Sdach Kumlung) is located in the northwest corner of the Royal Square of Angkor Thom, Cambodia.

It was built in the Bayon style under Jayavarman VII, though its modern name is from an 8th-century sculpture discovered at the site. A datable inscription of the 14th-15th century identifies it with Dharmaraja, the "King of the Order", which is an epithet of Yama, the Indic god of death and ruler of the underworld.

The statue was called the "Leper King" because discolouration and moss growing on it looked similar to the symptoms of leprosy, connecting it to the Cambodian legend of Angkorian king Yasovarman I having the disease. The name Cambodians know the image as is Dharmaraja, as this is what was etched at the bottom of the original statue.

The U-shaped structure is thought by some to have been used as a royal cremation site.
