Preah Vihear Temple: The Soul of Khmer
The Preah Vihear Temple is located slightly east of the
midsection of the Dangrek Mountains. It is perched on the edge of a
giant cliff, about 625m above sea level in the northern part of the
Preah Vihear Province, close to the Thai border.
In the 9th century, King Yasovarman I (889 - 900 AD) began work
on the original Preah Vihear Temple. It was then a small sanctuary
dedicated to Siva as Sikharesvara, "Lord of Summit." Spiritual
development,

increasing political power, and economic growth, which were factors
that inspired the Khmer Kings, were reflected in the architectural
style of the temple. It took more than 300 years to complete the
various structures that merged into a homogeneous recreation of the
Hindu Universe as a magical home of the gods. This naturally changed
the original small sanctuary into one of the greatest Khmer temples
of all times. This ranking was achieved as a result of the finest
carvings that depicted the highest standards of unique Khmer
architecture. It can be reached by road from Thailand.

Information
Katas Raj Temples, Chakwal, near Lahore, Punjab
Katas Raj Temple is situated in Chakwal district of Punjab in
Pakistan. Dedicated to Lord Shiva, the temple has existed before the
days of Mahabharata and the Pandava brothers spent a substantial
part of their exile here.
It is said that the five Pandava brothers, heroes of the Historical
epic Mahabharata, stayed here four out of the 14 years that they
spent in exile.
Its origin involves the death of Shiva's wife Satti. When she died,
Shiva cried so much and for so long, that his tears created two holy
ponds - one at Pushkar in Ajmer, India and the other at the Katas
Raj Temple.

devotee of Lord Shiva and Goddess Durga.
