Its pink sandstone structure boasts an array of remarkable sculptures, lintels, pediments, and friezes. Local legend suggests that the temple's intricate carvings were so delicate that they must have been crafted by the hands of women rather than men. En route back, we'll pause at Pradark Village, offering you a glimpse into the daily lives of local residents as they produce palm sugar and handicrafts for sale to tourists.
