This mural from Phnom Sanbok pagoda in Kratie depicts the fate of the unfaithful in Buddhist hell.
Sinners are shown climbing the រកាដែក (Iron Tree), its sharp thorns tearing their flesh as punishment.
Hellhounds, demons, and vultures torment them further, symbolizing karmic retribution for betrayal.
The painting serves as a vivid moral warning deeply rooted in Cambodian Buddhist tradition.
