Ban That is thirty kilometres south of the Vat Phou Temple Complex. In this small village, the "village of the towers", are the remains of three square, unfinished prasat (12th century) erected by Subhadra, a Brahman. Scholars think Subhadra may be the same person as Divakarapandita, King Jayavarman VI's guru. The site is particularly important because of the stele in front of the towers. The stele is inscribed on all four sides and provides scholars with much valuable historical information about Khmer history. At the time of the towers' construction, King Jayavarman VI (1080-1107) worshipped Shiva and honoured the Brahman for his religious and literary talents. A large baray can still be seen next to the temple.
