Tep Pranam

The temple features an 82-meter by 34-meter cruciform terrace with a large Buddha statue sitting on a lotus pedestal at its center.

King Yasovarman I constructed this Buddhist shrine in the 9th century, with additions of serpent balustrades in the 12th century and lion statues in the 13th century.

The temple maintains its religious function as Buddhist monks in orange robes regularly visit to pay respects to the 4.5-meter-high Buddha statue.

Visitors can access the central sanctuary via a 75-meter-long laterite causeway, located 150 meters east of Preah Palilay within the Angkor Archaeological Park.

A group of Buddhist nuns resides in a wooden structure adjacent to the temple, continuing centuries-old religious practices at this location.
