Brief introduction of scenic spots

90-Prasat Sikhoraphum


The stone sanctuary is a group of five brick pagoda, finely constructed, standing on the same base. The prasat was formerly been the symbol of Surin Province. The sanctuary was constructed according to Hinduism beliefs and dated back to the 12th century.

The influence of Hinduism can be seen from the carved lintel found in the central tower, which depicts Shiva performing the cosmic dance. Around 15th century A.D., the sanctuary had been renovated and become a Buddhism stupa.
