The triple hidden tower temple at the end of red road

Prasat Bat Chum is easily accessible via a red, new dirt road from the south near Prasat Kravan.

Known architect
One unique aspect of this temple is that the architect is known by name. Normally, the god kings are the ones who got their names connected to the temples built during their reign during the 630 years of the Khmer Empire.

Bat Chum was supervised by the architect, minister and guru Kavindrarimathana to the King Rajendravarman II approximately 952CE.

Kavindrarimathana is also accepted as the supervisor behind East Mebon Temple, Srah Srang and maybe the basic designer behind Pre Rup Temple. Meaning that he designed the main reservoirs and elements of most of the Southeast Grand circle Angkor Park.

Mahayana Buddhism
The other unique aspect, Bat Chum was built as Mahayana Buddhist Temple when the Khmer Empire still had Hinduism as the main religion. Another interesting glimpse into religious pluralism early on in this powerful empire.

The three towers are in poor condition when I visited, undergoing a several yearlong restoration project. The three towers are dedicated to Buddha, Vajrapani and Prajnaparamita. Simplified one is for the Buddha, the second for the bodhisattva symbolizing Buddhas power and relentless determination in conquest of negativity, and the third perfection of Wisdom.

This temple is a 12,5 km bike ride from Siem Reap Old Market on mostly flat roads and bike tracks.

Photo shows a three-tower temple called Prasat Bat Chum in early Khmer architectural style. It is covered by scaffolds caused by a several yearlong restoration process. It is surrounded by tall, green forest and the platform for the towers stands on a green grass covered ground. It is a sunny morning with a visible clear blue sky.

True. #Facebook is actively engaging in the unprovoked missile invasion by members of global terror-state weapons alliance the #abrahamAccord - USA, and its proxies State of Israel, al-Saud & the #emirs of Dubai & Doha, who want to destroy #Iran, each for its own reasons. What does Meta gain? Enhanced membership in the global US-led #authoritarian #empire.

That morning trip to Prasat Bat Chum among rich rice fields

Bat Chum Temple – ប្រាសាទបាទជុំ – is one of these off the main track sites where the travel is as interesting as the target.
There are several reasons to take a small side trip to the small Prasat Bat Chum. The beautiful entrance track among rice fields and cultural landscape is an obvious one.

It is near Prasat Kravan and close to Srah Srang reservoir. It is easily accessible both as part of and end point of a Small and Grand circuit tour of Angkor Park.

Or by mountain bike.

This morning, I met this fellow sitting near a small river trying fishing. Or simply enjoy a nice morning in the rice fields.
Good ones, either choice.

Photo shows a reddish-brown dirt track going straight through fields of rice into a small cluster of trees shielding a temple. The fields have some single trees spread out marking borders between rice paddocks. A small river is going in a culvert under the dirt track, and a man is sitting near the left side opening with a small fishing rod. It is a sunny morning with slightly warm sun and the sky is cobalt blue with some light clouds on the horizon.

🤔

An #Empire losing its control about powerful global actors, or common action to distract from #DomesticProblems ?

.

We've been watching "Andor" season 2 and I think one of my favorite things about this series is how it exposes the Empire as one giant, crushing fucking bureaucracy
#Andor2 #Empire

#russians celebrate their national day by losing 1 million people, killed and wounded, since Feb 2022, in an imperialist genocidal war

russian imperialist culture today is all about exporting lies, aggression, violence, #corruption, #pollution, #genocide, #ecocide, terror, murder and #war.

#russia leads by example with their own people being sent to their death like irrelevant walking dead meat.

The sooner the russian #empire collapses the better for everyone.
