This was wonderful! The graphics were amazing as well. Thank you, so much, for spreading the news about Cambodia Culture. This legend remind me of the thunder, lightning and rain originated from a heated, mid-air tiff between the ragefully jealous Ream Eyso and the more powerful, saintly Moni Mekhala.

With all due respect,
I'm Cambodian but I never heard of this myth. Are you sure that you are not confused about Cambodian's myth with Indian? (not sure about Indian 's myth neither but some of our Khmer tales are inspired by Indian tales especially when it comes to God and religion.

Can I just say that I'm amazed that Cambodian myths are same as Tamil myths. It's sad that no one knws the goddess like Manimekhalai as they got forgotten by the Newer forms of Hinduism. So happy to see the legends are still remembered in other countries

Theres something really cool and unique about Hinduism and other Indian religions, they feel a lot more like a fairy tales than a religion itself
