Angkor Wat
Angkor wat is one of 40 principal temples in Angkor archeological park. It becomes the national emblem of Cambodia as shown in the middle part of Cambodian national flag. Constructed from 1113 AD until 1150 AD on 163 hectares, Angkor Wat is the biggest religious edifice in the world. Not only its amazing dimension, this Hindu god’s residence stores plenty of ancient information through the style of architecture, the iconography and the inscription as well. Since it’s under the Hindu influence, Angkor Wat, built during the king Suryavarman II, inspired the doctrines of the Hindu cosmology, its astrology and so exalted by the mythology. Each measure of length and width follows the duration of Yuga or Mahayuga. For example, the distance of causeway crossing the moat at the west entrance measures 432 cubits (Hath or Arm) which relates to 432 000 years of Kaliyuga.
