Welcome
to Cambodia
I'm going to take all of you to visit my country, the Kingdom of Wonder, Cambodia that fulls of many temples like Angkor Wat, Bayon, Banteay Srey Temples.
Angkor
Wat is a temple complex in Cambodia and
is the largest religious monument in the world, on a site measuring 162.6
hectares (1,626,000 m2; 402 acres). Originally constructed as a Hindu temple
dedicated to the god Vishnu for the Khmer Empire, it was gradually transformed
into a Buddhist temple towards the end of the 12th century. It was built by the
Khmer King Suryavarman II in the early 12th century in Yaśodharapura, the
capital of the Khmer Empire, as his state temple and eventual mausoleum.
Breaking from the Shaiva tradition of previous kings, Angkor Wat was instead
dedicated to Vishnu. As the best-preserved temple at the site, it is the only
one to have remained a significant religious centre since its foundation. The
temple is at the top of the high classical style of Khmer architecture. It has
become a symbol of Cambodia, appearing on its national flag, and it is the
country's prime attraction for visitors.
Angkor
Wat combines two basic plans of Khmer temple architecture: the temple-mountain
and the later galleried temple. It is designed to represent Mount Meru, home of
the devas in Hindu mythology: within a moat more than 5 kilometres (3 mi)
long[6] and an outer wall 3.6 kilometres (2.2 mi) long are three rectangular
galleries, each raised above the next. At the centre of the temple stands a
quincunx of towers. Unlike most Angkorian temples, Angkor Wat is oriented to
the west; scholars are divided as to the significance of this. The temple is
admired for the grandeur and harmony of the architecture, its extensive
bas-reliefs, and for the numerous devatas adorning its walls.
