The East Mebon is a 10th Century temple at Angkor, Cambodia. Built during the reign of King Rajendravarman, it stands on what was an artificial island at the centre of the now dry East Baray reservoir. The site was dedicated to the Hindu god Shiva and honours the parents of the king. Its location reflects Khmer architects concern with orientation and cardinal directions.
