Preah Ko, which translates into “The Sacred Bull”, was one of the first temples to be built in the ancient city of Hariharalaya. The city no longer exists. Today the area is known as Roluos and is located about 15 km away from the main temples of Angkor. Khmer King Indravarman I built the temple between 875 and 890 A.D to honour his ancestors and to worship Lord Shiva. In front of the temple stand 3 remarkably well-preserved Nandi bulls. Nandi is the name of the abode of Lord Shiva. He is depicted as a bull and serves as the mount to the god. These bulls are a unique feature of this temple. To enter the temple, travellers need to mount the stairs guarded by majestic lion statues. The main sanctuary of the temple consists of six brick towers. The motifs on the lintels depict mythical creatures. Away from the crowds at Angkor, the temple situated in a serene rural setting leaves traveller plenty of time to explore the history of this temple. Many parts have been restored. Others have been left untouched as they have resisted the change in time in an excellent condition.
