Angkor, Cambodia: Bas relief stone carving of a devata (deity) at Ta Som temple.


Ta Som is a small 12th century temple within the Angkor archaeological park. The ruins of the temple have been left largely unrestored, with numerous trees and other vegetation growing among the ruins. The temple is famous for this large strangler fig which has completely overwhelmed the east outer gopura (entrance gate).
