Ta Som is a small yet captivating temple located in the Angkor Archaeological Park in Siem Reap, Cambodia. Built in the late 12th century under the reign of King Jayavarman VII, this Buddhist temple was dedicated to the king's father, Dharanindravarman II. Ta Som is known for its serene atmosphere and intricate carvings, including striking depictions of the deity Avalokiteshvara. One of its most iconic features is the eastern gopura (entrance gate), which is dramatically enveloped by the roots of a massive strangler fig tree.
