Prasat Kravan, Hindu temple in Angkor Archaeological Park, Cambodia

The temple consists of five reddish brick towers arranged in a row on a single terrace, with the central tower standing taller than others.

High-ranking Hindu priests supervised the construction of Prasat Kravan in 921 CE during the reign of either King Harshavarman I or Ishanavarman II.

The interior walls display large carved bas-reliefs depicting Hindu deities Vishnu and Lakshmi, offering insights into ancient Khmer religious practices.

Visitors can explore Prasat Kravan from 5:00 AM to 6:00 PM daily, with morning hours providing optimal lighting conditions for viewing the brick structures.

The temple features brick construction techniques that allowed craftsmen to create intricate carvings directly on the tower walls without additional stone decorations.
