4 Preah Ang Chek and Ang Chom Shrine in Siem Reap, Cambodia

Inside of this shrine located within the Royal Gardens are two statues. They are the sisters Preah Ang Chek and Preah Ang Chom. The images of the Angkorean princesses originated at Angor Wat. However, to keep them safe from the Khmer Rouge, monks hide them until this temple was built in 1990. Although small, this sacred shrine is typically crowded with locals. They worship by bringing flowers, burning incense and washing the feet of the deities with holy water.
