Angkor Wat Temple

Angkor Wat temple built by King Suryavarman II, of the end 12th century. 
Angkor Wat is the jewel of the crown of the whole Angkor complex. As the largest religious monument in the world, Angkor Wat is a magnet for tourism into Cambodia, having received over two million foreign tourist in just 2013. The massive temple is now a symbol of Cambodia, even taking center stage on its national flag.
This behemoth- spanning 1,626,000 sq meters- was originally constructed as a Hindu temple for the Khmer Empire, to be later transformed into a Buddhist place of worship toward the end of 12th century. The temple is at the top of the high classical style of Khmer architecture. Angkor Wat combine two basic plans of Khmer Temple architecture: the temple-mountain and the later galleries temple. It is designed to represent Mount Meru, home of the devas in Hindu mythology. Unlike most Angkor Ruin temples, Angkor Wat is oriented to the west. The temple is admired for the grandeur and harmony of the architecture, its extensive bas-reliefs, and for the numerous devatas adorning its wall.

Thommanon Temple one of the magnificence of Angkor

Thommanon Temple
Thommanon temple is a small, but a worth seeing one, situated 500 meters east of Angkor Thom's Victory Gate. A single-towered temple dedicated to Brahmanism, it was built in the late 11th and early 12th century by King Suryavarman II.

The temple complex is rectangular in shape with a sanctuary opening to the east, a moat, a rampart and two gopuras both located on the east and west. A library is also situated nearby on the southeast of the temple.
Thommanon temple is a part of Angkor Archaeological Park, which was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1992.
Thommanon Temple

Thonmmanon seems to stand in conjunction with Chao Say Tevoda, located just across the road going to the gate, but was built decades earlier. The temple's carving are well preserved and the aged sandstone provides as distinct contrast to the surrounding jungle. Thommanon is in much better condition than the Chao Say Tevoda as it had undergone restoration by the French archaeologists in the 1960's. The structure and design of the temple has been concluded as  inspiration in building the Angkor Wat temple. It may not be one of the major landmarks in the park, but its fascinating beauty us surely worth-seeing.
