Prasat Sikhoraphum is a Khmer temple complex located in Surin Province, Thailand. This historic site dates back to the 12th century and was originally constructed as a Hindu temple dedicated to the god Shiva. The temple is known for its five brick towers, or prasats, which are adorned with intricate carvings and bas-reliefs depicting Hindu deities and mythological scenes. Over time, Prasat Sikhoraphum was converted into a Buddhist temple, reflecting the region's shift in religious practices. The central tower, which is the tallest, features exquisite lintels and pediments that showcase the skilled craftsmanship of the Khmer artisans.
