Neak ta information


A neak ta (Khmer: អ្នកតា, 'nâk ta) is a Cambodian ancestral or tutelary deity,[1] believed locally to watch over people, places, and things, as long as they are paid proper respect.[2]

Neak ta in Khmer translates as the ancestor. A neak ta can be either feminine or masculine, and most often they operate as a couple.[3]
