Angkor Wat in Siem Reap, Cambodia

This is the last part of Angkor Wat - the heritage building in Siem Reap, Cambodia



















The first level of the heritage building is the most artistically interesting. Most visitors begin their exploration with the bas-reliefs counterclockwise around the temple.

Bas-relief highlights include the mythological Battle of Kuru on the west wall, the historical march of the army of Suryavarman II, builder of Angkor Wat, against the Cham, followed by scenes from Heaven and Hell on the south wall and the classic ' Churning of the Ocean Milk' on the east wall.

Angkor Wat in Siem Reap, Cambodia

This is part III of the heritage building in the heritage site in Siem Reap, Cambodia, THE ANGKOR WAT



















The visual impact of Angkor Wat is tremendous to us. As you pass through the outer gate and get your first glimpse, its size and architecture make it appear two dimensional, like a giant postcard photos against the sky.

The temple interior is not as densely carved as the first level exterior, but still sports hundreds of fine carvings of apsaras and scenes from the Hindu mythology.You can find the various chambers, statues and architectural forms in the interior. The central tower on the third level houses four Buddha images, each facing a different cardinal point, highlighting the fact that though Angkor Wat was constructed as a Hindu temple, it has served as a Buddhist temple since Buddhism became Cambodia's dominant religion in the 14th century.
