Preah Uma-Mahesor Roundabout
Ream, Preah Sihanouk province
The Preah Uma-Mahesor statue (ព្រះឧមា-មហេសូរ) stands where Ream Boulevard meets Ream Beach Boulevard. The central sculpture and the open space around it form a coastal landmark in the Ream area.
The sculpture presents Uma and Shiva together. The supplied monument description associates the pair with creation, happiness, peace, and harmony within families and society. This cultural meaning helps explain the figures’ composition and posture.
The monument description records a 9-metre copper statue on an 8.5-metre square pedestal, giving a combined height of 17.5 metres. It describes a 99-metre-diameter roundabout with three levels of granite paving and space for resting.
Consider the relationship between the figures, the pedestal and the coastal setting. Watch traffic and follow local access arrangements when taking photographs; do not step into the carriageway for a view.
