Prasat Hin Phanom Rung

Thailand's Department of Fine Arts spent 17 years restoring the complex to its original state from 1971 till 1988. On 21 May, 1988, the park was officially opened by Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn. In 2005, the temple was submitted to UNESCO for consideration as a future world heritage site. Like the place of cultural interest Prasat Khao Phra Vihaan, which is full on Cambodian territory (see my album "A visit at Khao Phra Vihaan", this temple complex was built in sandstone and laterite in the 10th to 13th centuries. It was a Hindu shrine dedicated to Shiva, and symbolises Mount Kailash, his heavenly dwelling.
The picture was captured with a Kodachome 64 ASA color reversal film and scanned with a Nikon CoolScan V ED.

  Die Tempelanlage Prasat Hin Phanom Rung liegt an der sogenannten Angkor Highway und ist von den Khmers im 10. bis 13. Jahrhundert errichtet worden. Die ganze Tempelanlage liegt auf einem erloschenen Vulkan jetzt auf thailändischen Territorium.
  Von 1971 bis 1988 restaurierte Thailands „Fine Arts Department“ unter der Leitung der geliebten Prinzessin Maha Chakri Sirindhorn die unbedingt sehenswerte Anlage. Gruß Wolfgang
