Ku Pon Wit, Kaset Wisai District, Roi-Et Province

Ku Pon Wit is a Khmer religious complex with stone shaped towers lying about 400 metres north of Ku Ka Sing. The main tower was originally dedicated to the God Vishnu but was later transformed into the tower of Shiva. The tower base faces east and there are another two small bases in front of the tower complex. The tower building was built of laterite with no stairs. In the middle and at the four corners of the building, there are four small square bases with holes supposedly for wooden posts at the corner of all four bases. An archaeological excavation of the site unearthed a yoni (womb) base on which a linga (symbol of Shiva) was placed. This type of base has commonly been found in the house of Shiva. Some broken pieces of images of Vishnu were found. It is assumed that the images of Vishnu were deliberately destroyed after the building was transformed into the house of Shiva. Ku Pon Wit was registered as a national ancient monument in December 2002.
