Prasat Prei Prasat, or Ta Oun (Khmer: ប្រាសាទចាន់តាអួន), has a single enclosure with a laterite gate on the east side, a library in the south-east corner, and a large cruciform sanctuary with impressive false doors – the same dimensions and layout as Prei Temple and Krol Ko Temple, found further to the east.
Lokeshvara (damaged), flanked by Vishnu and Brahma, can be seen on the eastern pediment.

On The Lantern Chronicles, I gather writings from Angkor, myth and legend, contemplative essays, and poetry — works shaped by silence, beauty, wonder, memory, and the deeper questions that follow us through the world.
It is a place for stone and story, reflection and vow, shadow and revelation.
You would be most welcome there.
