Location
Ta Mueang Temple
It is located approximately 390 meters southwest of Ta Mueang Tod, near the ThailandCambodia border route (Ta Mieng Pass). The temple sits at an elevation of over 300 meters above sea level.
Architectural Features
It is constructed from pink sandstone and is small and compact. The temple consists of a single main prang situated on a square base, with an entrance on one side. The walls feature holes, likely used for inserting wooden beams or materials to support the roof.
The architecture reflects the influence of Khmer art from the 16th - 17th Buddhist centuries. Traces of a Shivalinga and yoni have been found, indicating that the temple was used for Hindu religious rituals, specifically of the Shaivism sect.
Although the temple is small and partially deteriorated over time, it remains an important historical and cultural tourist site.
