v2.c21.s8.35

On the northern extremity of the Peninsula, at Pechaburi, there is a group of temples called Vat Kampheng Leng² built in Kāmboja style. Inside an enclosure are three temples in a line, north to south, with two Gopurams on the two sides of the central temple. The temples were originally Brāhmanical, but now contain images of Buddha, though images of Viṣṇu or Garuḍa are still met with.
