Description

Angkor Wat
Angkor Wat is a temple complex in Cambodia. It was built in the 12th century by King Suryavarman II. It was commissioned to serve as the capital city of the Khmer Empire, and it was designed to be an earthly representation of Mount Meru, home to the gods. The temple's architecture is considered one of the world's finest examples of classical architecture, and it has been awarded World Heritage status by UNESCO.

Angkor Wat is located in Cambodia. It was originally built in the 1100s AD. Angkor Wat is one of the largest religious monuments in the world and it is the only temple in this region with all four Hindu gods. The structure covers an area of 3 square miles and it is surrounded by a 20-mile long wall, which was mainly built to protect the Buddhist monks who lived nearby.

The ancient temple of Angkor Wat is not only an architectural masterpiece but also a complex religious site with four main entrances. Each entrance leads to a different area of the temple, with the most important one being the southern entrance which leads to the central sanctuary. The temple has two courtyards, with the outer courtyard containing holy trees, statues, and various other important figures carved in stone. The inner courtyard contains five towers with each tower representing one of the five Hindu worlds.
