Krapom Chhouk Temple

Remains of a laterite temple with “library” and outer enclosure. The site is very easy to access being close by to road 62. As mentioned it is a walled site that featured a large entrance gopura on its east side with tall central temple that unusually opened on all four sides along with showing signs that it once had a forebody. In the southeast corner of the enclosure are the remains of a “library” also formed in laterite. It’s a pleasant spot that is a popular place for locals to meet and hangout.

An inscribed stele was found here believed to record the site as another of the ancient “Hospital Chapels“.

Inscription

  • K. 160 – “Hospital Stele” – featuring 24 + 24 lines of Sanskrit
