Buddhist Heritage

This collection explores the religious evolution of the Tonle Sap region, from the 11th-century ruins of Prasat Vat Athvea to the vibrant urban compounds of Wat Bo and Preah Prom Rath. These sites feature traditional Khmer architecture, characterized by tiered roofs, intricate bas-reliefs, and ornate pagodas. The selection includes hilltop sanctuaries like Phnom Krom and quiet village places of worship that serve as central hubs for local Buddhist communities near the shores of the lake.
