The nearer you get to Cambodia, the more beautiful the temples become.
Prasat Phanom Rung (phanom Rung temple) was built between the 10th and 13th centuries on the top of an extinct volcano in Buriram Province. It's a Hindu Khmer temple devoted to Shiva, built out of huge blocks of rose tinted golden sandstone. The whole temple is covered in bas reliefs, carvings and statues depicting stories from the Mahabarata and other Hindu scriptures.
A very Khmer Shiva, the healer sits, surrounded by his bare breasted attendants, while other attendants lay their hands on a patient below. This bas relief is over the entrance.
Over the second entrance there is a dancing Shiva. His dance brings peace to earth.
This is Krishna
