Cambodia: Line drawing of elaborate elephant decorations from Angkor Wat and the Bayon, 1927. Angkor Wat was built for King Suryavarman II (r. 1113-1150) in the early 12th century as his state temple and capital city. As the best-preserved temple at the Angkor site, it is the only one to have remained a significant religious centre since its foundation – first Hindu, dedicated to the god Vishnu, then Buddhist. It is the world's largest religious building. The temple is at the top of the high classical style of Khmer architecture.
