The site is known for its carvings representing [[fertility]] and its waters which hold special significance to [[Hindu]]s. Just 5&nbsp;cm under the water's surface over 1000 small carvings are etched into the [[sandstone]] riverbed. The waters are regarded as holy, given that Jayavarman II chose to bathe in the river, and had the river diverted so that the stone bed could be carved. Carvings include a stone representation of the Hindu god [[Vishnu]] laying on his serpent [[Ananta]], with his wife [[Lakshmi]] at his feet.<ref name="Time">{{cite web|author=Friess, Steve|url=
