Namaskar Mitra,

 

Greetings from www.esamskriti.com. Have just uploaded 63 pictures of temples in

Cambodia and Vietnam.

 

1. Angkor Wat, Cambodia - meaning 'The City which is a temple'. Dedicated to

Lord Vishnu, was built by King Suryavarman II between 1113 to 1150 a.d.

Occupies a rectangular area of 500 acres and is defined by a laterite enclosure

wall that is surrounded by a moat 200 metres wide. Estimated time for

construction is 30 years. Angkor Wat represents the cosmic world, with the

central tower symbolizing Mount Meru situated in the center of the universe.
