The entrance to Tep Pranam is marked by a laterite causeway bordered by double boundary stones at the corners and a terrace in the shape of a cross. The sandstone walls of the base of the temple have a molded edging. Two lions precede the walls and there are serpent balustrades, which are of a later date. The terrace is surrounded by small stupas on the north, south and west, originally 25 in total. Also on the western side, and not to be missed is the standing Buddha (4m in height) with arms placed outward to express fearlessness. This is one of the most serene areas in the park of Angkor. A visit to this area should not be rushed and should also include Prah Palilay. This temple was built at the end of the ninth century by king Yasovarman I and dedicated to Buddhist. #2023travelwish #2023travel #2023旅行願望 #2023trip #historical #temple
