  Neak Pean
Neak Pean, though dedicated to the Buddha at the time of its construction, would have been avowed to Lokesvara only towards the end of the reign of Jayavarman VII, at the time when the pools were arranged for healing ablution or purification.
Until it was damaged by a storm in 1935, the central sanctuary of Neak Pean was crowned by an enormous Ficus, the sacred tree.
In its renovated form Neak Pean is quite different, and although the part played by nature may no longer prevail, the work of man wins in clarity.

Neak Pean is perhaps the most unique temple in the Angkor complex.
With all the water symbolism, it should be no surprise that Neak Pean was a place of pligrimage, where people would come to "wash away their sins." Recent studies seem to suggest that the temple served a physical as well as symbolic purpose.
