Angkor Wat which literally means ââ¬ËCity Templeââ¬â¢ is a Hindu temple
complex built to replicate the heavens on earth. Constructed for king
Suryavarman II in the early twelfth century, it is the best-preserved
temple and is the only one to have remained a significant religious
centre since its foundation; first Hindu, dedicated to Vishnu, then
Buddhist. The temple is the epitome of the high classical style
of Khmer architecture. |
