One of the best-preserved temples in the Angkor city and part of a World Heritage Site, Eastern Mebon attracts visitors with its well-preserved elephant statues and five cone-shaped pillars. Climb the four stairways guarded by the picturesque elephants and admire the stone carvings of verses from Hindu mythology and historical scripts. While the whole complex honors Shiva and the parents of the king Rajendravarman II, the small altars inside the pillars are dedicated to other Hindu deities. Along with the exquisite examples of architecture, the temple stands out for its use of red brick made from iron-rich clay.

De l'ancienne ville choisie comme capitale par, il ne reste plus que le temple. Dans l’enceinte, quatre tours en quinconce encadrent le sanctuaire. more »
Of the ancient city chosen as capital, it remains more than the temple. Inside, four towers in staggered flank the sanctuary.View original -
This temple is a part of the grand circle tour which includes many temples. This is a big one and very nice to visit. Not among my favourites but still one to be seen. more »
