Preah Ang Dorngkeu Shrine is located in Phnom Penh near the Royal Palace on Sisowath Quay. Locals believe that prayer here will bring good luck. The shrine contains a 12-13th century-style statue of a radiating Avolokiteshvara covered in black lacquer, but, it is actually an ancestral spirit that people come here to worship relating to a local legend surrounding the flagpole here. Another shrine to the north features three local deities, Lokta Dambang Dek, Lokta Krahorm and Lokta Preah Chao.
