angkor wat



Angkor Wat is the grandest and most sublime of all the Khmer temples. it was built in the 12th century, both as the capital and the State Temple dedicated to Vishnu. this is the first of many temples I explored in this monumental region of Angkor, many of which are composed of the two major features of Khmer architecture: a pyramid and concentric galleries. the visions of this Hindu universe are overwhelming!
