🇰🇭 Ta Som is one of the smaller temples situated in Angkor, Cambodia, located north east of Angkor Thom and just east of Neak Pean. It was built at the end of the 12th century for King Jayavarman VII, who dedicated the temple to his father Dharanindravarman II, who ruled over the Khmer Empire from years 1150AD to 1160 AD. The temple consists of a single shrine located on one level and surrounded by enclosure laterite walls. It is surrounded by a moat and enclosed by three laterite walls which are broken by two sets of entrance ways. The main structure of the entrance ways are carved with four faces in the Bayon style. 👣 . . . . . . . . . #goseetravel #tasom #tasomtemple #bayon #bayontemple #siemreap #angkor #angkorwat #angkorwattemple #cambodia #khmer #temple #architecture #history #archeology #buddhism #buddhist #buddha #hinduism #sculpture #carvings #motif #culture #art #artistsoninstagram #travelasia #traveladdict #nikon #nikond800 #nikonphotography (at Ta Som) https://www.instagram.com/p/BraEEruAGE5/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1o20aor8djxy5
