Prasat Muang Tham

Ray Oday @ray.selfhosted.social · 1d

Prasat Muang Tham is an ancient Khmer Hindu temple complex in Buriram Province, Thailand. Built in the late 10th to 11th centuries, it sits just 8 kilometers southeast of its famous hilltop neighbor, Phanom Rung. Primarily dedicated to Shiva, the complex features five central brick towers built on a low platform. One of its most distinctive features is the four L-shaped reflection ponds surrounding the inner sanctuary, bordered by stone balustrades with smooth, un-crested five-headed Naga sculptures facing outward at the corners.
