"Angkor Wat (Khmer: \u17A2\u1784\u17D2\u1782\u179A\u179C\u178F\u17D2\u178F or \"Capital Temple\") is a temple complex in Cambodia and the largest religious monument in the world. It was originally founded as a Hindu temple for the Khmer Empire, gradually transforming into a Buddhist temple toward the end of the 12th century. It was built by the Khmer King Suryavarman II in the early 12th century in Ya\u015Bodharapura (Khmer: \u1799\u179F\u17C4\u1792\u179A\u1794\u17BB\u179A\u17C8, present-day Angkor), the capital of the Khmer Empire, as his state temple and eventual mausoleum."@en . . .
