Angkor Wat temple is a Hindu structure temple, then subsequently Buddhist temple complex and the largest religious monument in the world.The temple Angkor Wat was built by the Khmer King Suryavarman II in the early 12th century in Yasodharapura, present-day Angkor, The capital of the Khmer Empire as his state temple and eventual mausoleum. Breaking from the Shaivism tradition of previous kings, The 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 first Hindu, then Buddhist.
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 local and foreign visitors.
The Angkor Wat combines two basic plans of Khmer temple architecture: The temple mountain and the later galleried temple, based on early Dravidian Architecture with key features such as the Jagati,It is designed to represent Mount Meru, home of the devas in Hindu mythology: within a moat 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, The 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.
