Preah Pithu Temple Group



It's Just a few meters from the terrace of leper king and right next to the North Khleangs and the Suor Prat towers. There was a secluded charming cluster of temples (five temples), so-called Preah Pithu temple group. They beared a beautiful name, as we learned from the local: Prasat Kor Sak, Prasat Chorm or Baysei, Prasat Ta Tourt, Kre Preah Pithu, Rean Hal Preah Pithu, An Trai Khai Vonea and Pond of Preah Pithu. Moreover, the artistic work and religious context were so impress, they contained such a gorgeous style from Khleang upto Bayon style, and temples were dedicated to Vishnu, Shiva and Buddhist. Most interestingly, there was a big renovated in Khmer middle period, if we looked in to the central tower of Ta Tourt temple,it was depicted two registers of seated Buddhsa in Bhumispasa Mudra on four sides and other fragments of Seated Buddha to performed in Bhumispasa Mudra with a big Buddhist terrace in the same period.
