Beng Mealea, Hindu temple complex in Siem Reap, Cambodia.
The sandstone temple of Beng Mealea extends across 181 meters by 152 meters, with three enclosing galleries surrounding a central sanctuary.
Constructed during King Suryavarman II's reign in the early 12th century, Beng Mealea followed architectural patterns similar to those of Angkor Wat.
The temple walls display intricate carvings depicting scenes from Hindu mythology, including the Churning of the Sea of Milk and Vishnu with Garuda.
Located 40 kilometers east of Angkor's main temples, Beng Mealea requires a separate entrance pass costing 5 dollars per person.
Natural vegetation grows through the unrestored stone structures, creating passages and corridors among fallen blocks and standing walls.
