Seman Teng Temple

A laterite temple that was one of the “firehouses”/Dharmacalas, or Gîte d’étape as the French researchers would call them, that were found along certain sections of the ancient road network. The temple is mostly collapsed bar part of the northern wall which retains some remnants of a sandstone lintel depicting worshippers. There is a large basin to the south where scant remains of another temple exist.
