Beng Mealea was built as a Hindu temple, but some carvings depict Buddhist motifs.[1] Its primary material is sandstone and it is largely unrestored, with trees and thick brush thriving amidst its towers and courtyards and many of its stones lying in great heaps.

Beng Mealea is a temple that was built during the Angkor Wat era. Located about 40 kilometers east of the main group of temples at Angkor, the temple is also known as Bung Mealea, which translates into ‘lotus pond’. Longtime, the temple was hidden behind thick bushes and trees and thus received very few visitors. A newly built road passing by the temple makes it now easily accessible for Tuk Tuks and bicycles. Both locals and international travellers alike can now explore the hidden gem that is of striking architectural resemblance with Angkor Wat. Due to the similarities, it is assumed that the temple was built by King Suryavarman II in the 12th century as a Hindu temple. The Buddhist motifs have been added later. Visitors can only imagine how graceful this temple must have been during its heydays as today big trees and thick bushes are growing amidst its courtyards and towers. The detailed stone carvings depicting God Indra riding Airavata, the three-headed elephant or Lord Krishna supporting Mount Govardhana let imagine how magnificent this house of worship must have been under King Suryavarman's II reign.
