Prasat Hin Phanom Wan, Hindu temple ruins in Nakhon Ratchasima Province, Thailand

The temple complex consists of a main sandstone stupa connected to a cloister through a square path with three arched gateways.

Initially constructed in the 11th century as a Hindu sanctuary, the temple underwent modifications during the 13th and 14th centuries to accommodate Buddhist practices.

The north gate houses a standing Buddha statue in a posture of forgiveness, reflecting the transition from Hindu to Buddhist religious traditions.

Visitors can explore the laterite wall enclosure, four entrance towers, and examine the traces of an ancient reservoir on the eastern side.

A pavilion within the complex was specifically built to welcome King Jayavarman VII during his visits to worship the Buddha statue.
