Bakong is one of a group of three temples (Bakong, Preah Ko and Lolei) that predate the central temples of Angkor Thom. Bakong is located about 13 kilometres south-west of Siem Reap. The temple was completed in the late 9th century, during the reign of Indravarman I. The temple is dedicated to the Hindu god, Shiva. Bakong is the first temple mountain or step pyramid built by the Khmer kings. The temple is constructed of a laterite mound finished in sandstone.
