Ankor Wat - Temple Unfounded

Angkor Wat was first a Hindu, later a Buddhist, temple complex in Cambodia and the largest religious monument in the world. The temple was built by the Khmer King Suryavarman II in the early 12th century in Yaśodharapura, the capital of the Khmer Empire, as his state temple and eventual mausoleum. Breaking from the Shaiva tradition of previous kings, 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 center since its foundation. 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 visitors.

The modern name, Angkor Wat, means "Temple City" or "City of Temples" in Khmer; Angkor, meaning "city" or "capital city", is a vernacular form of the word nokor , which comes from the Sanskrit word nagar
(नगर)…….

The temple was founded by Henry Muohot, he was on a trail with a diver in Combodian forests,  to find the species of the butterfly.....

when the fuel of the Jeep was null, he took a decision of moving further without anyone ...
the jungles were dark, evergrees, lustful ( which makes you love nature) with the sounds of chirps, klirks, trumpets of the Reciders of the Jungle- The Animals.....


Accidently, he saw a blue winged, Crystal designed wings Butterfly, he ran behind it and was lost in the forests. Moving forward with a butterfly net and some water, he saw a huge structure, magnificiently brought up and still unhurled( moved or devasted). This was The ANKOR WAT. he was fascinated by it, and started sketching the buildings and all the idols. There are about 14000 mini structures of gods and goddesses, along with a large Lord Vishnu idol.....

the temple resembled hindu gods and goddesses. the structure of city was as a size of Manhatten. the drainage pattern was advanced and buildings were built like a magnifico.

He Said about the Temple that,

"At Ongcor, there are ...ruins of such grandeur... that, at the first view, one is filled with profound admiration, and cannot but ask what has become of this powerful race, so civilized, so enlightened, the authors of these gigantic works?"

Today, The temple is open for visitors and people around the globe. It is the Unesco's world heritage site in Combodia.......
