ArchitectureKhao Klang Nok

Khao Klang Nok is a laterite stupa without plastering and stucco decoration, while its anda was made by bricks. Its large pyramidal platforms are in side-and-edge-increased square plan, when each side has 3 edges and 2 edges at each corner. A staircase of each direction lies upon the principal edge of the side, which is bigger than its sided pair.Pyramidal wires one the platform’s wall show the significant of Dvaravati Art called “Buavalai” or “Kalasha”, which is similar to early Pala Art. Furthurmore, there are 8 vimans or replica prasats on attached to each wall side, which is related to early Chola Art. Upon the top verando stands a stupa made from Dvaravati bricks, which consist of lots of husk. However, the stupa is in bad condition which cannot show more details. The holes around the stupa might show that once there were pillars supporting roof frame which covered the stupa and the veranda.
