Bay Ka-Ek Temple, or Thma Bay Kaek (Khmer: ប្រាសាទថ្មបាយក្អែក) is located near the south gate of Angkor Thom, Cambodia. It consists of the ruins of a square brick tower facing to the east and preceded by a laterite terrace. There is also a square brick platform on the immediate south-eastern side. Immediately north is a smaller brick shrine housing the remains of a small female statue.
A sacred deposit was found here consisting of five gold leaves arranged in a quincunx with the central leaf featuring an image of Nandi.
A little further west is another small brick structure with a lintel intact and a linga at its center. I’ll group it here for the lack of having a separate name.
Keep walking west and you will find Prasat Bei and a little further Sak Kraop.
