Daydreaming of Cambodia

At sunset we visited Phnom Krom temple near the Tonle Sap lake in Siem Reap.  As we started to climb the stairs, Vir told me that Phnom Krom translates to the hill below.  ”But we’re climbing up so shouldn’t it be called the hill above?”  Vir explained that the sacred temple symbolizes heaven and everything else is considered below it, including the mountain top that it sits on.

Greetings from Phnom Krom

Phnom Krom, built in the ninth century, is dedicated to Brahma, Shiva and Vishnu.
