East Mebon temple, Angkor Cambodia
Our day two was the busiest...we started with Banteay Kdei, and then did East Mebon, Ta Som, Neak Pean, Preah Khan, and Phnom Bakheng...Phew!!!
What a day it was! Tiring but worth every bit of it.
I am sharing pictures of East Mebon in this post…East Mebon is a 10th Century temple built during the rule of King Rajendravarman. This temple style is similar to that of the Pre Rup temple.
The fascinating aspects were the sculptures of elephants (at least 2 metre high) at the corners of the temple. The temple was built on an artificial island surrounded by water. There is no water around the temple now, it is all dry but it was nice to be at the temple and imagine how the view would have been back then.
I am enjoying re-living all those moments through these pictures. Just thinking about those moments gives me some respite from the current depressing situation :( I pray that we overcome this devious persistent virus soon... and that our lives return to the normal we knew.
Stay safe and take care.

East Mebon is a beautiful temple and the structure is of early temples. I have missed this one during my trip there...wonder why. :-( You have taken some very good shots of all three temple sites....the sky during sun set is so lovely. keep them coming.
Thank you so much for your kind words Resh...it is a beautiful temple indeed.
Many thanks,
Ranjana
