Prasat Kravan, a 10th-century Hindu temple, stands out among the Angkor sites for its unique construction from brick rather than stone. Located in Cambodia near Angkor Wat, this temple features five brick towers that may appear modest from the exterior. Inside, however, the walls come alive with intricate brick bas-reliefs. Visitors can admire detailed carvings of Vishnu riding his sacred bird, Garuda, and Lakshmi, his consort, holding lotus flowers. These carvings offer a glimpse into the rich religious and artistic heritage of the Khmer Empire.
