Prasat Sikhoraphum is a Khmer Hindu temple built in the 12th century by King Suryavarman II (r. 1113 - 1150). Prasat Sikhoraphum dates from the early 12th century and has been beautifully restored. It consists of five brick prangs on a square laterite platform surrounded by lily-filled ponds. The lintel and pillars of the central prang are beautifully carved with heavenly dancing girls, or apsara, and other scenes from Hindu mythology. An Apsara (Sanskrit: apsar??; Khmer: tep apsar; Pali: acchar?; Vietnamese: A B? Sa La T?, Malay / Indonesian: bidadari; Javanese: widodari; Thai: apson), is a female spirit of the clouds and waters in Hindu and Buddhist mythology. English translations of the word 'apsara' include 'nymph', 'celestial nymph', and 'celestial maiden'.
