Religious, Spiritual sights in Sambor Prei Kuk

  1. Prasat Sambor

    The principle temple group, Prasat Sambor, is dedicated to Gambhireshvara, one of Shiva's many incarnations (the other groups are dedicated to Shiva himself). Several of Prasat Sambor's towers retain brick carvings in pretty good condition, and there is a series of large yoni (female fertility symbols) around the central tower that appear to date from a later period, demonstrating the continuity between pre-Angkorian and Angkorian culture.
