Did she know what she started, the old woman named Penh? Look around! This is Wat Povdao. But this tranquil place almost wasn’t. It owes its existence to a simple act of kindness. Imagine the powerful Mekong River surging with the monsoon rains. It deposited a Koki tree at Penh’s feet. Inside, nestled amongst its roots, lay four bronze Buddha statues. Penh, a woman of great faith and even greater vision, knew these were no ordinary relics. She ordered a small temple be built atop this very hill. A temple to house the sacred statues and honor the divine message the river had delivered. That, my friends, is how Wat Povdao was born. And how the very city around it, Phnom Penh, earned its name – “Hill of Penh”.
