Prasat Ban Plai

Cheupleung Subdistrict, Prasat District

Currently, the temple at the northern end and the one in the center are relatively well-preserved. Particularly noteworthy is the northern temple, which still features a lintel in its original position, depicting a deity seated with one knee raised in the niche above the "Naga," who is shown spitting out a section of a garland. The deity holds both ends of the garland firmly. (The "Naga" refers to a decorative motif resembling a fearsome face, either of a giant or a mythical beast.) Additionally, there are two more lintels lying on the ground, believed to belong to the central and southern temples. One of the lintels also depicts a deity seated in a similar pose in the niche above the Naga, while the other illustrates Indra riding the elephant Airavata. Although some of the Shiva Lingams and parts of the lintels are missing, fragments have been preserved and are housed in the Phimai National Museum in Nakhon Ratchasima Province. It is estimated that this temple was constructed around the 16th century of the Buddhist Era.
