Religion: Hinduism
Ruler/Patron: Suryavarman II
Style: Angkor Wat
Angkor Wat which really connotes 'City Temple' is a Hindu asylum complex attempted to recreate the sky on earth. Created for King Suryavarman II in the early twelfth century, it is the best-shielded asylum and is the only a solitary to have remained a gigantic religious concentration since its foundation; first Hindu, dedicated to Vishnu, then Buddhist. The asylum is the epitome of the high settled style of Khmer outline. This eminent asylum joins two fundamental game plans of Khmer haven outline; the asylum mountain and the later galleried haven, in light of early South Indian Hindu designing. Worked inside a channel and an outer divider 3.6 kilometers (2.2 miles) long with three rectangular presentations, each raised over the accompanying, it is proposed to address Mount Meru, home of the devas in Hindu mythology.
At the point of convergence of the haven stands a quincunx of towers. Not at all like most Angkorian asylums, Angkor Wat is masterminded toward the west and this has analysts isolated as to its significance. The asylum is refreshing for the grandness and friendliness of the plan. The expansive bas-reliefs and the different guard spirits decorating its dividers serve as affirmation of the strong Khmer religious feelings.
