Greetings everyone 🙏🏻. When I went to Siem Reap, my family and I got together to visit the Preah Khan temple in Siem Reap. This temple was built by King Jayavarman VII, 1191 AD.

As we toured the temple, a man who was a policeman in the area guarding the temple told us a story about the previous king and his wife. This tree grow on temple a long time ago and nobody knows how many years for it grows on the temple. And it is not uncommon to see trees growing on the temple. Some trees are bigger than this, and some trees are cut down if they damage or damage the temple.

Like this big tree, it pressed against the body of the temple and caused severe damage.

This is the statue of Indra Tevi, the queen of Jayavarman VII, who made this statue on the wall. There is also a worship from the people who visit here. The statue of Indra Devi on this wall is in a mysterious place and we never knew it before. We know this place because a man who works in this temple told us Let us go and see the image of her in a place far away from people.

When we first saw it, we thought it was an Apsara statue next to the five different Angkor temples, but the man said that this was not an ordinary Apsara statue, but the goddess Indra Tevi, the queen of Jayavarman VII. And the man also said that the statue of her is very sacred, we can pray for something and achieve our wishes.

I was relieved and prayed for my family to get the visas to the United States together. According to the man, in front of the princess covered with many gems and gold. But there are thieves, and only a few bright lights remain.

The man also pointed out to us the whereabouts of Indra Tevi's sister.

The man told a story about the stupa I was standing on. He said that this was the stupa of Jayavarman VII and that he had built it for his father. And he said that in this stupa there are gems and gold, but there are thieves.

This is another small temple near the main temple, which is said to be a temple for keeping the king's sword or knife.

But when we went inside the temple, we did not see any relics or knives. It must have been lost a long time ago.

I am only writing a brief sketch of this temple that I know of a man. If you all want to know long stories about temples in Cambodia, we also have the guide to translate all the stories of each temple.

Every time I visit Khmer ancient temples, I feel proud to be born in a wonderful land where Khmer ancestors built many temples for the next generation of Khmer children.
