Informations supplémentaires

The monuments closest to Koh Ker`s main temple complex of Prasat Thom are five isolated temples belonging to the north-eastern group. Each of them shelters a decorated monolithic Lingam of enourmous size on equally huge Yoni pedestals, which symbolizes the female genital. This is why the five single structures are called Linga-temples, named from G to K and numbered 277 to 281. All Linga temples open to the Rahal. They are square towers and now roofless. These five sandstone towers were wider and taller than their predecessors in Roluos and Angkor. The increased size of both the building and the Lingams, which are some of the largest known in Khmer art, is a notable characteristic of the architecture of Koh Ker. Lunet die Lajonquière assumed that this development in size was only managable by extending the use of wooden carpentry.
