PHANOM RUNG HISTORICAL PARK : BURIRUM - Mini Siam Zone
The Panomrung Stone Temple in Burirum province is actually an extinct volcano and is the most valuable piece of in the north-east in the 12 TH C.B.E. It is a walled-in enclosure, with both the door frames and walls carved in beautiful design of Lopburi Period style with Khmer influence. It is thought that it was originally built as an idol temple according to Brahminic belief. Within the Prasat, or castle, is a thorne hall built in the 12 th century A.D. The beauty of the main Prang of Phanom Rung lies not only in its plan. But in the vibrant stone carvings which cover large parts of the temple. Many lintels and pediments depict episodes from Indian texts such as the Ramayana, the Mahabhasat, and the Puranas.
