Khtum Temple

Prasat Khtum is a square laterite temple atop a sandstone base with remains of a terrace. It opens only to the east with a sandstone doorframe flanked by decorative columns and topped by a very decayed lintel that depicted Indra on Airvata.

Just several meters to the north is the much larger Prasat Damrei.
