A contemporary monastery built on an ancient site. Only remnants of the ancient site were ever recorded, some of which can still be seen at the site including door steps (or moonstones) of the ancient temple. As of June 2022, a new pagoda is under construction with a lot of the sculptures being carved from sandstone. Nice to see.
