Prasat Sikhoraphum, Khmer temple ruins in Ra-ngaeng, Thailand.

The temple structure consists of five sandstone towers positioned on a laterite platform, with the central tower reaching 32 meters in height.

Built during the 11th century as a Hindu sanctuary dedicated to Shiva, the temple underwent modifications in the 16th century for Buddhist practices.

The temple displays intricate bas reliefs depicting a ten-armed dancing Shiva alongside multiple Hindu deities across its entrance lintels.

Located forty kilometers east of Surin town, the temple maintains daily operations from 8 AM to 5 PM with an entrance fee of 50 Thai Baht.

The four smaller towers contain preserved stucco work featuring mythical three-headed Naga figures, demonstrating ancient Khmer artistry.
