Prasat Bei Temple

Prasat Bei Temple is located north-west of Baksei Chamkrong and west of Thma Bay Kaek about 175 meters. Prasat Bei means “three towers” made of brick stand on a north-south row, facing east

and on a 10 m by 24 m laterite-base. It was probably constructed in the10thcentury AD under the reign of King Yasovarman I. 

The central tower contained a Shiva-Linga; the flanking towers reach no higher than the doorways. Only the lintels of the central and southern towers were carved, both towers showing Indra-God on the elephant Airavana.
