Harihara

Located near the modern town of Roluos was the site of the first capital of the Angkorian era Khmer Empire. The capital was named Hariharalaya, a name derived from the god Hari-hara, a synthesis of the Hindu gods Shiva and Vishnu. Hariharalaya was established by Jayavarman II and served as the Khmer capital for over 70 years under four successive kings. Setting the pattern for the next four centuries, the first great Khmer temples and baray were constructed at Hariharalaya.
