Prasat Lolei ប្រាសាទ​លលៃ - 9th Century Temple - Siem Reap Cambodia 2024

Prasat Lolei ប្រាសាទ​លលៃ often simply called Lolei, was begun during the reign of Indravarman I in the late 9th-century to honor his own immediate family as well as the god Shiva.
The front pair of 4 brick towers were dedicated to his father and grandfather and the rear couple to his mother and grandmother. Despite additional work by the subsequent king Yasorvarman, 2 more planned tower, which would have made 2 rows of 3 east facing shrines, were never completed.
Lolei is the northernmost temple of the Roluos group of late 9th century Hindu temples at Angkor, Cambodia. Other members of this group are Preah Ko and the Bakong.
Lolei was the last of the temples to be built as part of the city of Hariharalaya that once flourished at Roluos, and in 893 the Khmer king Yasovarman I dedicated it to Shiva and to members of the royal family.
The name "Lolei" is thought to be a modern corruption of the ancient name "Hariharalaya," which means "the city of Harihara."
Once an island temple, Lolei was located on an island slightly north of center in the now dry Indratataka baray. Construction of which had nearly been completed under Yasovarman's father and predecessor Indravarman I.
Scholars believe that placing the temple on an island in the middle of a body of water served to identify it symbolically with Mount Meru, home of the gods, which in Hindu mythology is surrounded by the world oceans.
In addition to the ancient ruins there is a modern temple on site. It’s worth exploring and can be combined with the other temples in the Rulos group.

This is one of the 4 major temples of the Roluos group of temples from the 9th century before Angkor Thom was the capital. The best one is a huge sandstone pyramid temple. Here is the video of it if you want to see more.

I’m happy to be able to share a little bit of the rich history of this area. I love to explore places and I could spend years in Cambodia and not see all of the treasures, thanks for spending a little bit of time with me on my journey!

Thanks! I hope you enjoyed this temple tour. Was fun exploring it. I like the modern temple in the ruins of the 9th century temple. I wish there were more like this.

I might need more days for me to be able to see all the temples.

[@endlessjourneytravels]

I’ve been to Angkor 5 times and I still haven’t seen everything that I want to. Lol I make plans to see one thing and find 3 new things along the way.
