In 1191 AD, ten years after his ascension to the throne, Jayavarman VII dedicated the temple of Preah Khan to his father Dharanindra, who is represented in the central sanctuary by Lokesvara, the savior god of Mahayana Buddhism who was much worshipped during Jayavarman VII’s reign.\n\nPreah Khan is one of the few monuments to have kept its original name. The founding stele is written entirely in Sanskrit with the name of the temple expressed as Jayacri. During the Middle Period, a stupa (see photograph) was erected in place of Lokesvara in the central sanctuary. This had the advantage of symbolising Buddhism in all its forms.\n\nThe name Jayacri or Preah Khan means “sacred sword” which was at the same time the coronation name of its royal constructor.\nMore than a single temple , the monument was in its time a real city with a whole population divided according to their functions. The temple was also a site of Buddhist studies with its retinue of spiritual masters and their disciples.
성스러운 칼이란 뜻의 사원이다. 가로세로로 긴 길이 이어지고, 한칸에 하나씩 링가가 배치되어있다. 가로와 세로의 통로가 교차하는 지점에 불꽃모양 탑이 있다. 특이한 구조.
Preah Khan — это храм-лабиринт, где можно бродить часами.\nСтены, покрытые мхом, корни деревьев, прорастающие сквозь камни, и лучи солнца, пробивающиеся сквозь проломы в сводах — всё это создаёт ощущение тайны.\n\nПостроен храм в XII веке королём Джаяварманом VII в честь победы и в память о своём отце.\nКогда-то это был огромный монастырь и университет, где жили тысячи монахов. Сейчас же здесь царит тишина и спокойствие — будто само время заблудилось в этих коридорах.\n\nКаждый поворот здесь — как шаг в прошлое.
女神のレリーフが非常に多いお寺です。\nリンテルの13人のアプサラが見事でした。\nジャヤーヴァルマン7世はアンコール・トム、ニャックポアン、プリヤカーン、タ・ソムを建てたのでそれらを見学すると彼の政治、宗教に対する考え方を良く学ぶことができる。トムを除く大回りコースは3、4ヶ所を訪問してtuktukで半日ぐらいで行けます。
A visit to Preah Khan temple offers a captivating glimpse into the Angkorian empire. Built by King Jayavarman VII in the 12th century, this sprawling complex is less crowded than Ta Prohm, providing a unique experience. Its name, meaning "Holy Sword," reflects its historical significance.\n\nThe temple's charm comes from its semi-ruined state, where giant silk-cotton trees intertwine with ancient architecture. Intricate carvings of apsaras and garudas adorn the weathered walls, while the layout features vaulted corridors and hidden courtyards, inviting exploration.\n\nA standout is a mysterious two-story structure with round columns, a rarity in Khmer architecture. Preah Khan is perfect for those seeking an adventurous escape with fewer tourists and is an unforgettable stop on any Siem Reap itinerary.
