Angkor Wat, originally constructed in the early 12th century as a Hindu temple dedicated to the god Vishnu, was part of the Khmer Empire and served as a royal temple complex. It was primarily inhabited by monks and served as a religious and ceremonial center. Over time, it transitioned into a Buddhist temple, reflecting the region's religious shifts. The area surrounding Angkor Wat was also home to a significant population that supported the temple's activities and the broader Khmer civilization.
