Preah Khan, Temple in Cambodia
Preah Khan is a temple at Angkor, Cambodia, built in the 12th century for King Jayavarman VII.
It was the centre of a substantial organisation with almost 100,000 officials and servants.
The temple is flat in design, with a basic plan of successive rectangular galleries around a Buddhist sanctuary complicated by Hindu satellite temples and numerous later additions.
Like the nearby Ta Prohm, Preah Khan has been left largely unrestored, with numerous trees and other vegetation growing among the ruins.
It is one of the few temples that is dedicated to both Buddhism and Hinduism.
