Angkor Wat is a temple complex located in Cambodia and was built in the early 12th century. The temple was constructed by King Suryavarman II of the Khmer Empire as his state temple and capital city. It is one of the most important archaeological sites in Southeast Asia, as well as being the largest religious monument in the world. Angkor Wat served as an important Hindu center of worship until it was converted to Buddhism during the 14th century. Its design combines features from both Hinduism and Buddhism, reflecting a period when these two religions coexisted peacefully within Cambodia’s culture. Throughout its history, Angkor Wat has been used for spiritual purposes and continues to be a pilgrimage site for Buddhists today.
