SOUTH GATE
South Gate is one of the 5 gates which guard the ancient city of Angkor Thom, and is the best preserved of all the gates. It was built by King Jayavarman VII in the late 12th Century, serving as 1 of the 5 holy Buddhist gateways to Angkor Thom. Some of the initial heads from the ‘naga avenue’ are now kept in Angkor conservation museum.
PRASAT CHRUNG
The Khmer term “Chrung” (pronounced “tshrong”) means “corner” or “angle”. That’s the name of the location, the four corners of the city walls of Angkor Thom. Thus, Prasat Chrung is not one temple, but four, and they are in more than three kilometres distance from each other. Nevertheless, the shared name makes sense as the temples are similar in design, too. All of them are simple Prasat towers on a cruciform ground plan and open to the east, the two Prasat Chrungs on the eastern city wall have additional entrances to the west. The walls are decorated in the Bayon style of Angkor Thom, for example with female divine beings called Devatas in niches.
The Prasat Chrung temples were dedicated to the Bodhisattva Lokeshvara (Avalokiteshvara), the same Mahayana saviour to whom the central Bayon temple of Angkor Thom was dedicated.
A visit of a Prasat Chrung temple requires a 1.5 km walk or bicycle ride on the city walls, 3 km up and down, this is why Prasat Chrung is untouristed and pretty charming. The most interesting of the four Prasat Chrung locations is at the southeastern corner of Angkor Thom, as already mentioned. There is no optimal time for visiting it.
