[2025 Siem Reap Attraction] Travel Guide for Chau Say Tevoda Temple (Updated Apr)

Don’t miss: some fine and elegant devatas, the Sugriva pediment; the pediments of the south library. Chau Say Tevoda is an ancient temple located in the Angkor Archaeological Park in Siem Reap, Cambodia. It is a smaller but significant temple built during the reign of King Suryavarman II of the Khmer Empire, around the early 12th century. The temple's construction is believed to have taken place shortly after the construction of its nearby counterpart, Thommanon temple. The name "Chau Say Tevoda" translates to "the temple of the four divine brothers." However, there is no concrete evidence to determine the exact origin of the temple's name or its significance in relation to the Hindu pantheon. Visitors to Chau Say Tevoda can explore its elegant carvings, lintels, and pediments that depict intricate mythological scenes and celestial beings. The temple's proximity to the more famous Angkor Wat and Angkor Thom complexes makes it an accessible addition to the itinerary for those exploring the historical wonders of Cambodia. Chau Say Tevoda, like other temples in the Angkor Archaeological Park, was designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1992. Its historical and artistic significance continues to attract tourists and history enthusiasts eager to delve into the rich cultural heritage of the Khmer Empire. #travel #mytripvlog #2023travelwish #historical #temple

This morning, as I passed through the rainforest, I suddenly discovered that the Pong flowers were in a beautiful bloom, tenderly leaning towards the tall ancient tree, whispering to each other like a couple in love. Enjoying the scorching sun every day, I no longer care about getting tanned or sunburned. I've stopped applying the sticky sunscreen and just let the wind and sun caress my half-pants and T-shirt clad body, the only thing I need to protect in the midst of the swirling dust is my camera. The South Gate that I pass by every day was unusually quiet today, so I stood under the gate watching the Buddha statues facing all directions enjoying the brisk wind blowing through. In front of the Chau Say Tevoda temple, surrounded by the jungle, there's a patch of red earth. The central temple without walls stands bare, with the vertical corridors shorter and the horizontal ones extending to the stone paths supported by columns, which must have been the docks once. This temple was restored with the help of our country. The damaged parts have been exquisitely repaired by craftsmen, but the stones used are of different colors. Our proud carving techniques have diluted the sense of time, and the only sound in the peaceful woods is the laughter of young girls running and jumping, with a small path extending into the dense greenery, surrounded by vines. Across the highway is the Thommanon temple, which is quite similar in appearance to the Chau Say Tevoda. Under the shade of trees by the roadside, Nina is still reading his book in the car, with the sunlight filtering through the leaves and speckling the light grey canopy. When I climbed the steps of the stone corridor, I did not continue forward. A pair of lovers in the throes of passion were kissing intensely in front of the exquisitely carved goddess statues, with the sunlight at 9:27 am slanting onto the girl's golden, shimmering hair tips.

The Temple of Zhousa was built during the reign of Sawavaman II in the early 12th century. The Toma Temple, which is 170 meters away from the north, was built during the same period, and its architectural layout and structure are exactly the same. But why these two buildings are built is still unclear. Only in the late 19th century, the French military officer Deco in the discovery of this group of buildings, from the local population know that the temple is dedicated to the god of Zhou Sa, so the French named it Zhousa Temple. Although the size of the Zhousa Temple is small, it deserves special attention from Chinese tourists because it is repaired by the Chinese team. At the entrance to the Temple of Zhousa, there is a sign supported by the Chinese government. The stone tower at the entrance has been basically damaged, leaving only the foundation and stone steps. A three-row octagonal stone column has a passage above the ground (the building period is later than the stone tower), which together with the platform connects the east entrance stone tower to a small river nearby. On the south side of the passage there is a painting depicting the scene of the resurrection of Suri and Wali. The relief on the north side of the passage (east) includes the monkey, Shiva, and Parvati from the back of the cow, and the elf. The damage of Zhousa Temple is serious, so there are many maintenance projects. Except for the preservation of Xitamen in the existing 9 single buildings, the damage of the other 8 buildings is extremely serious.
