Ta Nei, Buddhist temple in Angkor, Cambodia
Ta Nei is a stone temple in Angkor with walls, galleries, and gateway towers arranged in a rectangular plan decorated with intricate carvings. The complex features multiple levels and chambers connected by narrow passages throughout its layout.
The temple was built in the late 1100s under King Jayavarman VII and shows the building methods of that era. Its design reflects the style that was common across the Khmer Empire at that time.
Buddhist symbols and religious carvings appear throughout the temple's stonework, showing how spiritual beliefs shaped the way this place was built. Visitors can see these marks in the galleries and on the walls as they walk through the grounds.
The temple can be reached by walking about 15 minutes through the forest from the main road, as vehicles cannot drive to the site. Wear comfortable shoes and expect uneven ground and thick trees throughout the approach.
The temple has not undergone modern restoration, allowing its original structures to remain and forest growth to blend with the ancient stones. This combination of nature and ruins sets it apart from other restored temples in the area.
