Phanom Rung Historical Park is a grand and majestic Khmer site over a thousand years old. Built on an extinct volcano, it was originally a Hindu religious site but was later transformed into a Buddhist one. During the 10th-13th century, several additions were made.
The first thing visitors see when they arrive at the site is the grand stairway from the foot of the hill up to the top. Most of the buildings of the sanctuary were made of laterite and sandstone, all with elaborate designs. The buildings are lined all the way to the main pagoda. This layout is according to Hindu belief of the layout of the heaven of the god Shiva.The main pagoda is a large one with a square base and facing east. The designs on the pagoda, columns, doorway, and lintels are exquisite, most telling a story of gods in Hinduism. From these designs and the architecture, it was surmised that the pagoda, the stairway and the Naga bridge were built during the 12th century. Each building has descriptive designs telling people the purpose for its construction, its usefulness and the beliefs of ancient people.
Phanom Rung is open daily from 06.00-18.00 hrs.

The reliefs on the lintel depicts Indrajit, son of Ravana, shot his Nagapasa arrow which turn to be the Naga rope to fasten Rama and Lakshmana. Ravana had Trijata take Sida to the scene of the fight on an aerial vehicle. Puspaka, Rama's Sida took it that Rama was really dead. Trijata tried to console her saying that a Puspaka would not float if its passenger was a widow. As the vehicle was still floating in the air, it signified that Rama was still alive. Meanwhile, Hanuman flew to the sea of milk to get a remedy for Rama and Lakshmana. Fortunately, Garuda who was the enemy of the Naga happened to fly to the battlefield. The frightened Naga released Rama and Lakshmana and fled the scene.
