History & significance

A tenth-century Khmer sanctuary in Prakhon Chai district dedicated principally to Shiva, with Vishnu also worshipped there. Unusually for a Khmer temple it is flat rather than pyramidal, its concentric enclosures separated by L-shaped ponds; kala carvings on the lintels supply much of the dating evidence, some outer gopura lintels were left unfinished, and all the towers except the central one have been restored.
