Restoring a Staircase to the Gods
Welcome to Preah Vihear, a grand temple in northern Cambodia. Constructed by the Kings of Angkor during the Khmer empire, it is a testament of devotion to Hindu deities. Today, historic efforts are underway to restore and preserve the northern staircase of this sacred site, safeguarding its legacy for future generations. The northern staircase is located north of Gopura V, measuring 111 m long, 11 m wide, and 40 m high, with 26 sections and many lion sculptures on the stair walls. The staircase was damaged seriously by aging, rainwater, tree roots, and insects. Therefore, the conservation and restoration of the northern staircase is challenging.
