Preah Ko

Preah Ko consists of six temples in two rows of three which are standing on a common base (see picture 1, below). All temples have the entrance in the east. Beautifully sculptured lintels are found over the entrances (see picture 2, below) and floral scroll motifs decora- te the entrance posts (see picture 3, below). The images of the temples were inaugurated by Indravarman I in 879. They are the deified forms of Jayavarman II, of the maternal grandfather and of the father of Indravarman I and of their principal wives.
