The Bei Temple or Prasat Bei (meaning Three Temples) is a small temple made of three brick towers built side by side from north to south. All of them face east and stand on a platform made of laterite stone. The middle tower once held a linga, a sacred symbol of the Hindu god Shiva. The two side towers are smaller, rising only as high as their doorways. The carvings are found only on the central and southern towers, showing Indra, the god of rain and thunder, riding his three-headed elephant, Airavata.
