Title
Central Tower at Angkor Wat #78601940
Description
The fact that the main central tower of Angkor Wat faces west, symbolizing death in Southeast Asia, when virtually all other Khmer temples face east to the rising sun, has suggested the idea that Suryavarman II intended the monument to be his tomb as well as a temple. Other scholars have suggested that the western orientation is connected with the templeââ¬â¢s dedication to Vishnu, or with astronomical measurements designed into the temple complex.
