Pre Rup ប្រែរូប Khmer Temple - Built in 961 - Angkor Cambodia
Pre Rup ប្រែរូប is a Hindu temple at Angkor, Cambodia, built as the state temple of Khmer king Rajendravarman and dedicated in 961 or early 962. It is a temple mountain of combined brick, laterite and sandstone construction.
The temple's name is a comparatively modern one meaning "turn the body". This reflects the common belief among Cambodians that funerals were conducted at the temple, with the ashes of the body being ritually rotated in different directions as the service progressed.
Pre Rup was dedicated to the Hindu god Shiva, and it is probably located on a former shivaite ashram, built by Yasovarman I in the previous century. Perhaps it was standing at the center of a new capital city built by Rajendravarman, with the southern dike of East Baray as northern city limit, but nothing of the dwellings survived.
Located just south of the East Baray, or eastern reservoir, Pre Rup is aligned on a north–south axis with the East Mebon temple, which is located on what was an artificial island in the baray. The East Mebon was also a creation of the reign of Rajendravarman.
The temple is smaller than the more famous ones in the center of the park. It is also much less visited but that doesn’t take away from its splendor. The style of the temple as well as the height of the temple mountain are amazing. Another amazing temple in Angkor.
