Angkor Wat
Angkor Wat was first a Hindu, later a Buddhist, temple complex in Cambodia and the largest religious monument in the world.
Angkor Wat is a Buddhist temple in Angkor, Cambodia. The Khmer King Suryavarman II (1113 C.E-1150 C.E) constructed Angkor Wat as a Hindu temple in the early 12th century C.E. Angkor Wat continued to serve as a Hindu temple until the late 13th century. When the Buddhist Srindravarman (ruler from 1295-1308) took power of the Khmer kingdom he converted the temple of Angkor Wat into a Buddhist temple. Angkor Wat was abandoned for the most part in the 16th century. In the 20th century the temple was mostly restored. Tourists from all over the world visit Angkor Wat, as it remains standing to this day.
It was a symbolic mountain built to honor the Hindu god Vishnu
Angkor Wat (Khmer: អង្គរវត្ត) was first a Hindu, later a Buddhist, temple complex in Cambodia and the largest religious monument in the world. The temple was built by the Khmer King Suryavarman II in the early 12th century in Yaśodharapura (Khmer: យសោធរបុរៈ, present-day Angkor), the capital of the Khmer Empire, as his state temple and eventual mausoleum.
Hindu and Buddhist Temple represent house of God. Since house of God or heaven is said to be far more beautiful than earth they decorate it.
Even though the bigger part of the population was Buddhist, the Khmer kings always remained Hindu, the King had a connection to Vishnu and Angkor Wat was dedicated to him, before it was turned into a Buddhist temple.
Aksharadham is not the biggest hindu temple because the followers of their deity are not hindus. The biggest hindu temple is probably the Brihadeeshwara Temple in Thanjavvur, Tamilnadu.
