Angkor Wat

Now the aerial view shows the true grandeur of the temple complex. Its scale is mind boggling. Angkor wat is the world's largest religious bulding complex and certainly the most awe inspiring man made structure.It was built by King Suryavarman II during the period 1112- 1152 AD and is dedicated to the Hindu God Vishnu.


Another view.


A painting of the temple at Angkor Wat shows its reflection in the lake.


Here is another superb rendition  of the temple complex in water colour. 


A painting of Angkor Wat does not begin to show what a grand temple it is. I have been waiting for more than 42 years to come here to see one of the marvels of the world.
