Ta Keo

Shiva was tricked out of this sanctuary, it was committed in around 1000, yet for reasons unknown it was never completed so has none of the resplendent carvings of the Bayon or Angkor Wat. Work was halted on it when another lord came into control ten years after the commitment, yet a few researchers think it was dropped in the wake of being hit by a lightning jolt which was deciphered as an awful sign. The towers at the highest point of the sanctuary do ascend to 50 meters off the ground so it is one of the tallest focuses around.
This is one of the 'mountain style' Khmer sanctuaries which were constructed upwards like pyramids or Mayan sanctuaries as opposed to level and sprawling like close-by Ta Prohm. They for the most part speak to Mount Meru, the home of the Hindu divine beings. In Ta Keo's case it's a square and general sort of mountain beat by five towers, one at every cardinal point and one in the inside. It's a precarious move to the best along limit walkways, significantly more conservative than those of Angkor Wat, and when you begin climbing you can't really observe to the best.
The main sanctuary to be worked from sandstone it's additionally the primary sanctuary to have a completely encased internal display. It languishes absence of guest claim over its stark adornment however its seriousness enables guests to better welcome the outlining and design ability of the Khmer individuals.
