Angkor Wat was built in 113-5 BC early 12th century) by the Khmer Empire. The construction work was started by Suryavarman II ((ruled 1113 – c. 1150).) and completed by Jayavarman VII. It is in Cambodia, about 5 kilometeres from Siem Reap, and now considered as the world's largest Hindu temple.

By the end of 12th century the temple was gradually transformed into a Buddhist worship place.
