Jayavarman VII (Khmer: ជ័យវរ្ម័នទី៧ 1125–1218) was a king (reigned c.1181-1218) of the Khmer Empire in present day Siem Reap Cambodia. He was the son of King Dharanindravarman II (r. 1150-1160) and Queen Sri Jayarajacudamani. He married Jayarajadevi and then after her death married her sister Indradevi. The two women are commonly thought to have been a great inspiration to him particularly in his unusual devotion to Buddhism as only one prior Khmer king was a Buddhist.
