Prasat Ku Suan Taeng, Ban Mai Chaiyaphot District, Buriram Province

Located near the town of Suan Taeng, Prasat Ku Suan Taeng is a Hindu sanctuary built in 12th century Angkor Wat style. The shrine built on a laterite base consists of three brick-built towers facing east on a single base aligned north-south. Each of the towers has a single front entrance with false doors on the remaining three sides. The main tower in the middle is the largest on a square plan with a porch at the front. Nearby are two brick libraries on laterite bases. The compound is surrounded by a moat. From an excavation in 1994 by the Fine Arts Department, a large number of artifacts were unearthed e.g. lintels depicting Nataraja – the dancing Shiva and the Churning of the Sea of Milk as well as sandstone antefixes depicting Dikpalaka, the direction of the Gods such as Indra on the Airavata elephant (God of the east) and Yama on a buffalo (God of the south).
