Angkor Wat, The Largest Hindu Temple

Angkor Wat, The Largest Hindu Temple
French novelist Gustave Flaubert says: “Travel makes one modest. You see what a tiny place you occupy in the world.” The great pyramids of Giza and the temples of Luxor created that feeling in me. I experienced exactly that once again when I visited Angkor Wat in Cambodia. At 1.3 billion, India’s population is the second largest in the world and it is projected to become the largest in the near future. Indians, in general, are religious and about 80 percent of them are Hindus. But, Would you believe then that the world’s largest Hindu Temple is not in India. And would you also believe that it is in a tiny country of a mere 17 million people that are not even Hindu? The Temple of Angkor Wat is a great example of human creativity. Its humongous construction is an engineering marvel. Not only it is the largest place of worship of any kind but it is artistically most beautiful with the finest bas-relief work and friezes depicting innumerable deities and stories from Hindu mythology.
