The symbolism of Angkor Wat,,,

 Angkor Wat is a miniature replica of the universe in stone and represents an earthly model of the cosmic world. The central tower rises from the center of the monument symbolizing the mythical mountain, Meru, situated at the center of the universe. Its five towers correspond to the peaks of Meru. The outer wall corresponds to the mountains at the edge of the world, and the surrounding moat the oceans beyond.

 

 Symbolism wat :

 Angkor Wat is a microcosm of the Hindu Universe in stone and represents an earthly model of the cosmic world. The moat represents the mythical oceans surrounding the earth and the succession of concentric galleries represents the mountain ranges that surround Mount Meru, the home of the Gods. The towers represent the mountain’s peaks and the experience of the ascent, to the central shrine is, may be intentionally a fairly convincing imitation of climbing a real mountain.

 The headgear was shaped differently from that adorning deities in south India. A few flowers were placed at the foot and a middle-aged woman with tear-filled eyes was sitting and praying there. The place has an aura of its own.

There is just enough space to prostrate before the deity and to circumambulate. You look around for his consort, Goddess Lakshmi, and you shrink at the sight of a headless figure nearby! When I expressed my shock and disappointment, Chi observed, “The bad people caused all the destruction.”
