Cambodia: One of the brick towers to the west of the main central pyramid, Bakong, Roluos Complex, Angkor. The Bakong is a late 9th century Hindu temple dedicated to the god Shiva. A thousand years ago Bakong was the central feature of Jayavarman II’s capital of Hariharalaya. It is built as a temple mountain on an artificial mound surrounded by a moat and outer enclosure walls. Bakong is the largest monument of Angkor's Roluos Group. The central part of Bakong rests on the artificial mound representing Mount Meru. This mound is surrounded by eight large brick towers.
