Verified Answer

Angkor Wat is a temple in Cambodia built in the 12th century by Khmer king Suryavarman II. It is the largest religious monument in the world, originally dedicated to Viṣhṇu. The temple has inscriptions in Old Khmer and Sanskrit, with bas-reliefs from the Ramayaṇa and Mahabharata. Its five huge Shikharas symbolise Mount Meru. Angkor Wat shares many features with South Indian temples, showing India's cultural influence across Southeast Asia. The temple was later converted into a Buddhist temple.
