Lolei

Lolei is a historic Hindu temple complex located within the Angkor Thom area in Cambodia, built in the 10th century during the reign of King Yasovarman I. It features three main sandstone towers arranged in a row, representing the sacred mountain of Mount Meru in Hindu cosmology. The structure is an example of early Angkor architecture, with intricate carvings and murals depicting mythological stories. Originally serving as a monastery and religious center, Lolei reflects the spiritual and cultural significance of Hinduism in ancient Khmer civilization and offers insight into the region’s religious and architectural history.
