Indradevi, a queen of the Khmer Empire, was married to perhaps the greatest builder-king of Angkor, Jayavarman VII (r. 1181–1219), and had significant influence upon state affairs.
Together with her younger sister Jayarajadevi, the first queen of Jayavarman VII, she set up schools for underprivileged girls, clothing them and teaching them Buddhism.
Queen Jayarajadevi died early on in her husband's reign. After her death, the king married Indradevi, who became the next queen. Queen Indradevi took over her sister's schools and was appointed head of the three temple schools, the universities of Buddhist doctrine and other sciences, which were created particularly to educate women and girls.
