Koh Ker Temple

Koh Ker was before an antiquated capital of Cambodia, situated in Srayong Cheung town, Srayong cooperative, Kulen area, around 49 kilometers west of the common town. The Koh Ker complex is on the Chhork Koki good country. It was worked by King Jayavaraman IV (AD 928-942). Koh Ker sanctuary is 35 meters high, and its configuration takes after a seven-ventured stupa. The sanctuary confronts west toward Angkor city. It was worked to revere Treypuvanesvara, the divine force of satisfaction. 

As such, 96 sanctuaries have been found in Koh Ker: Dav, Rumlum Bey, Beung Veng, Trapiang Prey, Dey Chhnang, Srok Srolao, Lingam, Kuk Srakum, Trapiang Ta, Sophy, Krahom, Andoung, Ang Khna, Teuk Krahom, Damrei Sar, Krarab, Banteay Pichoan, Kuk, Kmao, Thneung, Thorn Balang, Rohal, Chamneh, Sampich, Trapiang Svay, Neang Kmao, Pram, Bat, Khnar Chen, Klum, Chrab, Dangtung, Prang, Kampiang. These sanctuaries were not built close to one another. Today, a significant number of them are no more standing, and some are covered in the ground. The followings are areas and portrayals of a portion of the Koh Ker sanctuaries: 

. Neang Khmao Temple 

The Koh Ker complex is along a trail that is around 3 kilometers in length. The main sanctuary, Neang Khmao sits on a little slope on the east side of the trail. The sanctuary, which confronts west toward Angkor city, is made of sandstone. It is 20 meters high and takes after a stupa. The sanctuary patio is 2 meters high and separated into three decks. The sanctuary is encompassed by a laterite bulwark, 44 meters square and 2 meters high. The defense has just two openings; one on the east side, and the other on the west. The sanctuary once housed lingam and yoni, however just yoni remains. The lintel model has been harmed, yet something else, the greater part of the sanctuary is in great condition, while almost seventy five percent of the defense is great condition. 

. Pram Temple 

Around 700 to 800 meters north of Neang Khmao sanctuary is another sanctuary called Pram sanctuary. Built of laterite and sandstone, it sits on a little slope encompassed by shrubberies that square the lingam and the lintel. The fundamental body of the sanctuary is in great condition. 

. Chen Temple 

More distant down the trail is a three-crest sanctuary made of laterite and sandstone. It confronts east and is called Chen sanctuary. Inside the sanctuary there is a bit of lingam and remainders of a statue of King Jayavarman IV. A figure of garuda's head on the south lintel is absent. The sanctuary is congested by timberland. 

. Preng Well 

Around 800 to 900 meters more distant, there is the Preng well, which is like a lake. Encompassed by stone, it is 20 meters square. The patio is around 8 centimeters high. The water in the lake is clear, and a close-by tree gives shade to tired guests searching for a spot to unwind. 

. Bulwark of Koh Ker Temple 

Another kilometer down the trail is the bulwark of Koh Ker sanctuary. 1 kilometer long and 2 kilometers high, it is made of laterite. Koh Ker sanctuary is the center of a bulwark, encompassed by 20 more sanctuaries. A portion of the sanctuaries are: 

. Kuk Temple or Gopura 

Kuk sanctuary or Gopura is made of sandstone and has a model of lotus petals on the sanctuary fronton. In spite of the fact that the door jamb is harmed, the greater part of the sanctuary is in great condition. A Shiva lingam that once was housed inside has been plundered. . Prang Temple 

Prang sanctuary is built of sandstone and blocks. There are five separate parts of this sanctuary. Around 70 percent of the sanctuary is as yet standing. 

. Krahom Temple 

Around 10 meters more remote is Kramhom sanctuary (The red sanctuary). Developed of block and molded like a seven-level pyramid, the sanctuary is enriched with a 20-meter-tall figure of lotus petals. Inside the sanctuary, there is a 3-meter-tall statue of Shiva with eight arms and four heads. The statue is bolstered by a l-square-meter base. The statue is genuinely harmed, just a few sections remain. 

. Khmao Temple 

More distant down is Khmao sanctuary. On the divider and door jamb of the sanctuary, there is a somewhat harmed engraving. Close to the sanctuary is a bulwark door to Kampiang sanctuary. The door is a 2-meter staircase. A few figures of lotus petals, seven-headed nagas and garudas remain. 

. Koh Ker Temple 

Around 300 meters more distant toward the west is Kampiang or Koh Ker sanctuary. From a separation, the sanctuary resembles a little slope, since it is secured by backwoods. Very close, in any case, it is really a 35-meter-high stupa made of sandstone. It has seven levels, every level around 5 meters over the other. Every deck has a 2 far reaching porch, and there is a 55-stage staircase to the top. At the highest point of the sanctuary, there are vast statues of garudas supporting Shiva lingam Treypuvanesvara. Close-by, there is a 4-meter square well, now totally secured by grass. By villagers, if a coconut is dropped into this well, it will show up in the lake close Neang Khmao sanctuary. There is vegetation developing on top of the sanctuary, and from that point guests have a great perspective of the encompassing scene, specifically, Phnom Dangrek, Phnom Tbeng, and Kulen district.To the north of Koh Ker sanctuary is another sanctuary, Damrei Sar sanctuary, however it is intensely harmed. Toward the upper east, is Iingam sanctuary. This sanctuary once housed three Shiva lingams, yet some are currently harmed.
