Did You Know These Facts About Angkor Wat ?

The temple complex was built by the Khmer King Suryavarman II in the early 12th century and later gradually transformed into a Buddhist temple.

Angkor Wat has become a symbol of Cambodia, appearing on the national flag, and is the country's prime attraction for visitors.

Angkor Wat is famous for its grand scale and exquisite artwork, including extensive bas-reliefs and carved apsaras (heavenly nymphs) decorating its walls.

Angkor Wat, located in Siem Reap, Cambodia, is the largest religious monument in the world and was originally constructed as a Hindu temple dedicated to the god Vishnu.

The design of Angkor Wat is meant to represent Mount Meru, home of the devas in Hindu mythology, and is surrounded by a large moat symbolizing the oceans at the edge of the world.
