Phum Prasat Temple

8th century

Located in Prasat Village, Prasat Commune, Santuk district, about 29 km far from provincial town and there is road from the southern direction of 500-meter length. This temple was built of brick, masonry and sandstone in 8th century (706 A.D) with Kampong Preah style to dedicate to Shiva. It was a sanctuary-built temple on the flat terrace without the false door and faced to the east. In the ancient period, the doors were made by two wooden boards-one carved with sculptures of male divinities at another one carved with female divinities. The southern framed door was inscribed with five lines of inscription, and its back was mostly eroded. The lintel was ornamented by the garlands; the diamond column and the upper corner of the temple contained the segments of Linga and Yoni. South of the large temple, was a hill called Toul Samrong or Toul Nak Ta Samrong; and east of this hill, there was a Pou tree in which the local people call Toul Nak Ta Deum Pou.
