Walking in the gods (13)

Walking in the gods (13)

--Brolo's group of the original style and features

Brolo's group (Rolous) built in the IX century, there was a Khmer Kingdom's second capital, 70 years after, until the Khmer Kingdom 905 years before moving to the Angkor region, therefore, Brolo's architectural complex was called Khmer art beginning.

Here the three main buildings are: the Rollei Temple, the sacred Bull Temple, BA Kung Temple.

Rollei Temple (Lolei) is the capital of Angkor temples before last, built in Khmer history's first artificial lake in the center of the island, but now this artificial lake is completely dry, disappeared, only three yellow brick brick Tower of the temple is just a lonely stand there, dilapidated and simple, in addition to the doorway was engraved with the wonderful rugged, handheld Pike Samurai, did not leave too many carvings and decorations.

But its features are really different from carving size Angkor resort, simple with a unit in its original, rugged beauty. The appearance of Rollei Temple alone, but also the vibrant. Today, people in the temple built around high foot estates Buddhist College, monks have gathered here, orange-red by the monks to give here a piece of beautiful colors, to inject a life here.

Sacred Bull Temple (Preah Ko) from Rollei monastery for a few minutes drive, architectural style and Rollei temple with consistent.

The origin of its name originates from the temple before the three Holy cow Nandi's statue, the little calf size of stone cow quietly lying there, guarded behind high Taki 6 Tower Temple. The previous three pagoda temple dedicated to Hindu gods Shiva and King was performed a PostScript Mo's father, grandfather, Kings called El PostScript Mo II and other male ancestors, followed by three towers enshrine the goddess and the King was the gyro PostScript friction of the mother and maternal grandmother, Kings called El PostScript Mo II Queen, female ancestor. The right of paternity, husband thought here is a very good interpretation.

Seen to occupy the pool Centre Rollei Temple, Nandi Bull temple guardian God, in my judgment, hundreds of meters of BA Kung Temple must also as an era of the two temples, original, simple, rugged and dilapidated, single-column structure of architectural style and these days to read any temples and sculptures, seems to be really is nothing.

At the risk of scorching heat of the Sun, with all the pores are outward with sweat, so Yung subconscious has also started to look for reasons to give up. But when I really face PA Kung Temple, just a short glance, has since been shameful, I do greatly underestimated the Khmer people's imagination and architectural skills. It can be said that the public is beautiful and majestic Temple combination. Connect the main body of the Palestinian public Temple, green on both sides of the path of the tropical plants and strolling along the crystal-clear water of the Lake, white, pink, red bougainvillea blooms, all the way to show a watery and paintings of beautiful and Reiki, in very hot weather in the moment and will have a refreshed feeling. At the end of the road, the scene is extremely awkward to a 180-degree turn, soft lines in an instant they evaporate, a founder of high into the sky of large temple again we pull back to Angkor the world full of stones. Remove the four small yellow brick Thursday block, the Palestinian public Tower Temple, the main fact is a monument in the high five-layer square shitai, cordierite large stone architecture consisting of high, but the great giant, Tower lace layer such as flames like cupola and Lotus petals and two to four layers of your stand on the platform, dignified and solemn four head male lion, eight head India monotheism, but give us a strong visual impact, a good surprise was stunning, untold. Standing at the edge of the Tower, there is a vast land, overhead is azure blue sky and white clouds of large flower, how is that pride seems to have it all under your control.

Here is my visit in Angkor temples of the last, for the BA Kung Temple gave me a nearly perfect end so that I can in the short journey, from start to finish, every moment to feel the infinity of surprises, excitement and emotions.
