Four brick towers (thought there were perhaps originally six) set on a two tiered based in the middle of the Lolei Baray, (Indratataka), a large ancient reservoir of 3.8 by 0.8 Kilometers. Excavation of the baray began, so the inscription tells us, five days after the consecration of Indravarman I at Bakong, in order to irrigate the capital city centered there. The temple built subsequently, is dedicated to his memory.
