Tep Pranam Temple

Welcome to Tep Pranam, my friend! This temple is home to a massive seated Buddha, made entirely of sandstone blocks. It's truly a sight to behold! What's interesting is that the interior of the Buddha statue is made up of recycled stone blocks. Talk about being resourceful, right? But that's not all! To get to this temple, you'll have to walk along a 75-meter-long causeway made of laterite. Don't worry, it's 8 meters wide, so there's plenty of room for you to strut your stuff! Once you reach the end of the causeway, you'll find a terrace with double sema, which are those fancy Buddhist boundary markers. They like to mark their territory, you know? Oh, I almost forgot to mention that the original building that housed the Buddha statue was made of wood. Sadly, it's long gone now. But hey, at least the cruciform foundation is still standing strong! Now, let's keep the adventure going and head to our next stop. Who's excited? I know I am!
