In the hills where the stream that fed the vast reservoirs of Angkor begins its journey down to the plains, the Khmers carved thousands of 'lingas' into the river bed to 'purify' the water on its way to the capital. There are also relief sculptures carved into the boulders which line the stream at this point.
