The East Mebon is a 10th Century temple at Angkor, Cambodia.
Built during the reign of King Rajendravarman, it stands
on what was an artificial island at the center of the now
dry East Baray reservoir. The East Mebon was dedicated
to the Hindu god Shiva and honors the parents of the king.
Its location reflects Khmer architects’
concern with orientation and cardinal directions.
