The Phanom Rung Sanctuary, Buri Ram ปราสาทหินพนมรุ้ง บุรีรัมย์

The Phanom Rung Sanctuary, Buri Ram  ปราสาทหินพนมรุ้ง บุรีรัมย์
The Walkway leads to the first of three naga bridges. The five-headed snakes face all four directions and are from the 12th century. This bridge represents the connection between heaven and earth. The naga bridge leads to the upper stairway, which is divided into five sets. Each set has terraces on the sides. The last terrace is wide, made with laterite blocks. It has a cruciform shape and four small pools. A couple more steps lead to the second naga bridge. It has the same shape as the first one, only smaller. In the middle the remains of an eight petalled lotus carving can be seen.
