river of a thousand lingas


kbal spean - the river of a thousand lingas - is a an unusual site in the hills an hour's drive from angkor. it features numerous ancient carvings in the rocks and in the riverbed itself. supposedly the water flowing over the images would then carry their spiritual blessings down to the farmlands below.
