Neak Pean is a small Buddhist temple at Angkor. Its name translates into “The Entwined Serpents”. Built on an artificial island in the second half of the 12th century by King Jayavarman VII, the temple was particularly special because it was believed that the water around the island had healing powers. The concept for Neak Pean was derived from a mythical lake with therapeutic properties that is located in the Himalayas. According to Hindu beliefs, the lake can heal diseases by balancing out the four elements. This explains why the centre plateau of Neak Pean is connected to four other ponds. Each pond represents one of the elements – water, earth, fire and wind. During the reign of King Jayavarman VII, people came here to bathe in the pond that was believed to balance their bodily elements and thus cure from diseases. All four ponds were believed to cure a specific kind of sickness. Historians therefore assume that Neak Pean served as a hospital instead of a house of worship. Today Neak Pean is the perfect spot to let the eyes wonder across an impressive example of Khmer architecture. With the lush green trees in the background, it is the perfect place to take some unique souvenir photos.
