The previous post in this series is here..
After going to the tea kadai temple, we were thinking our next stop was going to be Angkor Wat. It was still early morning and given our speed, our driver said we will most likely not need 3-4 hours to see the big temple. So we stopped at one more “must see” temple in this complex. It was a later temple (12th century) compared to the other temples that dated from 950-1100 time frame. It was the Kravan temple,
There were no idols left in the temple. They were all uprooted and taken to France apparently. Only the few murals on the walls remain. They were beautiful.
San almost fell down the steps and that got me worried. We were on day 4 of a 10 day trip and a wedding to attend. There was no room for injuries. There was a pond outside the temple that had violet lotus flowers. Have never seen that anywhere!
A short video highlights reel.
After we walked around this simple temple, we made our way back to the car.. next stop Angkor Wat temple..
