The healing temple of "Neak Pean" sent on October 06, 2025 (19:15) by Lorisb. 15 comments, 146 views.

at 70mm, 1/30 f/7.1, ISO 100, hand held. Angkor, Cambodia.

Il tempio si trova su un'isola al centro di una piscina quadrata, circondata da quattro stagni più piccoli. Al centro di un grande catino, un'isola circolare sulla quale è eretto un prasat centrale (alto 14 m) è circondato da due n?ga. Costituiscono l'ingresso le teste dei serpenti che formano l'entrata; le loro code intrecciate hanno dato il nome al tempio.

Il santuario principale presenta una scultura di serpente a spirale (Naga), che dà il nome al tempio ("Neak Pean" significa "serpenti intrecciati"). Neak Pean è uno dei templi più affascinanti del Parco Archeologico di Angkor, costruito dal re Jayavarman VII (lo stesso sovrano che fece edificare anche Angkor Thom, Ta Prohm e lo stesso Preah Khan) durante il periodo Khmer.

Fu progettato come un antico ospedale e centro di guarigione, incentrato su un tranquillo stagno che si ritiene abbia proprietà medicinali.

Secondo alcuni studiosi il complesso è stato costruito per ricordare l'Anavatapta, un lago di cui molte leggende parlano e che dovrebbe trovarsi sull'Himalaya; in principio la costruzione era dedicata principalmente a luogo di culto per i malati

infatti si riteneva che le acque del posto avessero dei poteri curativi basati sul fatto che quel luogo era stato edificato come punto di incontro dei "quattro elementi" (terra, aria, fuoco e acqua).

Laos and Cambodia... two countries that I visited in 2007, which I found of unspeakable scenic, archaeological and human beauty!
Places hard to forget...
Your gallery is interesting!

@ Peppe parti solo per visitare questi luoghi affascinanti, l'unica cura che potresti provare è immergerti nell'acqua o berla, tutti e due i casi sono altamente sconsigliati MrGreen

@ Chiara ho apprezzato molto il tuo interesse per la galleria e se dopo 18 anni anni ancora ti ricordi le emozioni che ti ha lasciato la Cambogia osservando le mie immagini è per me un grande piacere.
Personalmente concordo con le tue parole, al contrario io sono passato in Vietnam ma il Laos mi affascina molto, un grande ringraziamento per il passaggio Sorriso

Mi fa piacere leggere i vostri messaggi conditi di suggestione, interesse e gradimento, come al solito con i miei reportage spero sempre di dare un aiuto a chi dovrà affrontare un viaggio in questi luoghi affascinanti ;-)

Un saluto a tutti Voi amiche ed amici carissimi, vi aspetto alle prossime uscite per colmare i vostri interessi e curiosità Sorriso

Loris
