**********

This Brahma shrine lying opposite Phra Prang Sam Yot consists of two parts. The old part dates back to the Khmer period and today is just a mound. The new part consists of a building constructed in 1951 containing a four-armed deity figure fixed with a Buddha's head which is now an object of worship. One of the most attractive sights for the tourists visiting San Phra Karn is the great number of tame monkeys which feed themselves on food offered to the deity by worshippers.
