Prasat Kravan Temple - 10th Century Khmer - Siem Reap Cambodia 2024

Prasat Kravan ប្រាសាទក្រវ៉ាន់

This temple site consists of a series of 5 brick towers placed on a common, brick platform. The towers are open to the east and is aligned north to the south.

A second terrace is situated to the east which probably housed a now lost entrance pavilion, while a 130 squesr meter moat can still be seen although any possible enclosure wall is now missing.

The towers themselves are truncated, with upper sections missing except for the relatively intact central one. This temple's most famous feature is several large and well preserved brick reliefs of Vishnu. They are found in the central tower. Similar, equally spectacular reliefs, featuring Vishnu's consort Lakshmi, are to be found in the north tower.

Located 260m to the east is a small 240m x 130m rectangular seasonally filled man made reservoir, Baray Prasat Kravan.

The site lies aside the road between Angkor Wat and Srah Srang, approximately 1.5kms south of Prasat Banteay Kdei, and dates to the troubled reign of Harshavarman I.

The towers are are a popular place for the locals to come and enjoy the evenings. It’s small but the brick reliefs are amazing and worth a bisit to see.
