East Mebon Angkor
The East Mebon Angkor is one of the most iconic and historically significant temples located in Siem Reap, Cambodia. Built in the 10th century by King Rajendravarman II, this Hindu temple was dedicated to Shiva and Vishnu. Situated on an ancient artificial island constructed with laterite blocks, this structure is surrounded by two large ponds filled with water from the nearby Tonle Sap Lake.

Standing at a height of 38 meters, the temple features three towers topped with five-headed nagas (mythical serpents) that guard the entrance bridge leading to the central shrine. Inside are intricate sculptures of Hindu gods and goddesses such as Shiva and Vishnu along with elaborate carvings depicting scenes from Ramayana, Mahabharata, and other Indian epics.
