Moni Mekhala and Ream Eyso (Khmer: របាំមណីមេខលា) is a revered Cambodian classical dance that dramatizes the mythic struggle between Moni Mekhala, goddess of the sea, and the storm demon Ream Eyso, whose conflict—over a magical crystal ball—explains the origins of thunder, lightning, and life-bringing rain in Khmer tradition.
