Witness the sun rise through Phanom Rung Temple’s gates this September for good fortune

Imagine you get there with your camera, only to have your shot obscured by handheld smartphones and metal barriers. Luckily it's a nice visit any other time of the year, too.

Imagine it's rainy season and you see thick clouds only ???? I haven't seen a proper sunrise for days.

The event...occurs four times a year. What? The equinox occurs twice a year. 

The full article describes sun >rise< and sun >set< through the gates. So seems you have to watch from one side or the other.

 

"Each year, the sun sets directly through the 15 gates of Phanom Rung Temple twice, between March 5 to 7 and October 6 to 8. The sun rises through the gates on April 3 to 5 and September 8 to 10."

 

not equinox dates btw

On September 9 the sun rises in Buriram at about 84° E. So the axis of the gates is 6° from the E-W axis.

No idea what the particular magic is here.

Stay home and illuminate your ligham with a flashlight and post a pic on social media.

I wondered if the author knew what a lingam is. The theme was crying out to be enlarged on.
