Phanom Rung Historical Park, Thailand
The architecture of Phanom Rung Park displays a Hindu Khmer style. Historically, this temple was built between the 10th and 13th centuries; the most captivating elements of a Khmer temple can be seen in this ruin. Phanom Rung was devoted to divine Shiva, the god of creation and destruction in Hinduism. It is worthwhile mentioning that the 402 meters mountain (an extinct volcano) upon which it was constructed corresponds to the sacred mountain where Shiva resided.
