Preah Ko Review

Archaeological research Shenniu Temple belongs to the Rolos group, is the beginning of Khmer art, belongs to the Hindu temple, is built on the high platform foundation, there are 6 towers, each tower has Sanskrit engravings, there is a good artistic viewing.

Compared with other Hindu temples, the scale of the Shenniu Temple is much smaller, and there is no magnificent high-desk appearance. The front of the temple is seriously damaged, and the pagoda and the statue of the Shenniu are still preserved. It feels very general.

I scored 5 points for all the attractions, it is worth seeing... Because there is a statue of cattle at the door, it is called Shenniu Temple. Some are being repaired. There is a taste in the middle. It is said that it is the taste of bats and other animals after living...

The peaceful of mind where I was. Those temples are looking beautiful and fitting my eyes.Pheah_Ko

Located in the Rollos area 15 kilometers southeast of Angkor Wat. The place where you see two cows lying on the temple entrance is here. There are three original cows, one of which is not alive. The building basically collapsed, leaving only a few towers and a few annexes. It is the author of Angkor architecture, the traditional style of Brahmin Temple, and the subsequent real Khmer buildings have his shadow.

The temple, also known as Prigo Temple, is famous for sitting on the knees in front of the temple tower. It is one of the Lolos groups, used to serve the ancestors of Shiva and the king. The damage here is already very serious, especially one of the stone cattle, no wonder some people said that they may not see it for a few years.

Shenniu Temple is the second important building of the Rollos Site Group. Located 12 kilometers southeast of Siem Reap City, the Rolls Site Group is divided into three sites - "Bagong Temple, Luolai Temple and Shenniu Temple. The Three Pagodas in front worship the male ancestors of Shiva and the king, while the latter three worship the goddess and female ancestors. Shenniu Temple is named after three sandstone bull statues in front of its central temple pagoda. The protagonists of these statues are Nandi, the white bull on which Shiva rides. After the establishment of the Khmer Empire in 802 A.D., King Royal Bama II of Khmer established his capital, Queri Royal, and died thereafter. His nephew, Indra Tamara I, came to power. Because of national strength, many temples were adopted and built by other countries. Shenniu Temple was repaired by German government in the 1990s. In Hindu culture, the God Niu Nandi is the mount of Shiva, so the God Niu Temple is also a temple dedicated to Shiva. In the middle of the Yongdao is "the statue of the God cow", originally there are three statues of the God cow here, one of them has been lost because of serious damage, and the remaining two are also damaged to varying degrees. Indra Bama I was a filial king. When he built his capital at the site of the Luoluo Temple Group, he emphasized that the temple of Shenniu, the ancestral temple for Shiva and ancestors, should be built first, and then the national temple at that time. So Shenniu Temple was also the first temple built in the whole Luoluo Temple Group.
