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 square 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 visit to see.
Enjoy the video!

This is a small temple on the mini loop. There are several other temples you can see. One of my favorite on this loop road is Pre Rup. Here is the video of it if you want to see more.

Life is a journey, and we are walking each other home.

Very true!

Interesting, I have never been there.

It’s not a large temple but worth a visit. It’s near several other large temples like Easy Mabon and Ta Keo. I thought the stone carvings of Vishnu were amazing. I really love seeing things like this and it was a very nice surprise.

Look like a small temple in the area , but interesting !!

Yes it was just the small temple with the 5 towers. The other buildings and walls are either gone or just down to the brick base. Even with that the carvings of Vishnu in the bricks was really amazing. I always went past it because Pre Rup and East Mebon are larger with more to see but I was very happy to finally stop and enjoy this piece of history.
