Virtual Tour - Prasat Muang Tam

Prasat Muang Tam
Buriram Province

The main edifices are five brick chedis, built on a single laterite foundation. The complex is surrounded by a double wall. The inner wall is made of sandstone, into which is built a series of narrow, rectangular rooms laid out end to end and referred to as the gallery. The outer wall is made of laterite. Sandstone archways at opposite points perforate the perimeter on all four sides. The lintel, pediment, and side columns of each are beautifully carved into floral motifs and scenes from Hindu mythology. A broad courtyard between the inner and outer walls is paved with laterite. At each corner a pool, whose sides were carved into the shape of serpents, was excavated, and at the rounded corners of each pool rise serpent's heads with hoods extended. All in all, this temple constitutes a striking example of Khmer temple architecture.
