Prasat Ban Phluang

The temple features a white sandstone tower standing on a laterite base, surrounded by a moat with an earthen causeway providing access.

Built during the second half of the 11th century under King Udayadityavarman II, the temple structure exhibits characteristics of the Baphuon architectural style.

The entrance displays detailed carvings depicting Hindu deities Krishna and Indra, along with decorative elements such as pentacephalic nagas and guardian figures.

Archaeological excavations revealed over 4,000 pottery fragments near the entrance, indicating the site's function as a ceremonial center for religious offerings.

The temple tower remains incomplete at its upper section, with no evidence of additional stones found during the 1973-1975 restoration work.
