The city of Angkor was founded on political and religious ideas adapted from India,and the temples of Angkor were intended as a place of worship for the king and a way for him to ensure his immortality through identification with the Hindu gods. Angkor Wat was first built by King Suryavarman Ⅱ in the 12th century as a vast funerary temple that would hold his remains,symbolically confirming his permanent identity with Vishnu. During its six centuries as imperial capital,Angkor went through many changes in architectural styles and in religion.The city of Angkor transferred itself from the Hindu god Shiva to the Hindu god Vishnu,and finally to the Mahayana Buddhist goddess Avalokitesvara. By the late 13th century,the once frenzied pace of Angkor's architectural pursuits had begun to die down,and a more restrained type of religion was on the rise under the growing influence of Theravada Buddhism. |
