East Mebon is a 10th-century temple located in the Angkor region of Siem Reap, Cambodia. Constructed during the reign of King Rajendravarman, the temple is dedicated to the Hindu god Shiva and honors the king's parents. East Mebon was originally built on an artificial island in the center of the now-dry East Baray reservoir, which provided the temple with a unique and picturesque setting. The temple is known for its intricate carvings, well-preserved elephant statues at the corners of its lower terraces, and its distinctive combination of sandstone and brick in its construction.
