Angkor Wat (Khmer) is the largest religious monument in the world. Situated in Cambodia, it was first a Hindu temple and then subsequently a Buddhist temple complex. It was built as a state temple by Suryavarman II, the Khmer king in the early 12th century in Yaśodharapura (present-day Angkor), the capital of the Khmer Empire. The temple depicts the classical Khmer architecture. Now it appears on Cambodia’s national flag as a symbol of Cambodia.
