Bayon Temple Angkor Wat in Siem Reap- The Most Amazing and Breathtaking Places

The Bayon (Khmer: ប្រាសាទបាយ័ន, Prasat Bayon) is a well-known and richly decorated Khmer temple at Angkor in Cambodia. Built in the late 12th or early 13th century as the official state temple of the Mahayana Buddhist King Jayavarman VII, the Bayon stands at the centre of Jayavarman’s capital, Angkor Thom. Following Jayavarman’s death, it was modified and augmented by
later Hindu and Theravada Buddhist kings in accordance with their own religious preferences. More info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bayon
