Preah Enkosai

About

<p>Preah Enkosei is the only Siem Reap-period temple located in modern Siem Reap. It was built in the mid 10th century by a high-ranking Brahmin named Divakarabhata who married the daughter of Rajendravarman II (r. 944-968). The temple comprises two sanctuaries placed side-by-side, with the central sanctuary on-axis with the east gopura. The symmetry of the site suggests that a third tower was part of the original design, but it was either never completed or totally destroyed (the lack of any foundation stones suggest the former).</p>
