Suryavarman II

In my group we'd like to  nominate to King Suryavarman II in category, peace . He was a Khmer king of the Khmer Empire  and the builder of Angkor Wat, the largest religious monument in the world which he dedicated to the Supreme God Vihnu.

 Angkor is one of the most important archaeological sites in South-East Asia. Stretching over some 400 km2, including forested area, Angkor Archaeological Park contains the magnificent remains of the different capitals of the Khmer Empire, from the 9th to the 15th century. They include the famous Temple of Angkor Wat and, at Angkor Thom, the Bayon Temple with its countless sculptural decorations. UNESCO has set up a wide-ranging programme to safeguard this symbolic site and its surroundings.

King suryavarman II was born in the 11th century, and in inscriptional evidence suggests that Suryavarman II died between 1145 AD and 1150 AD, possibly during a military campaign against Champa on 1145/1150. An inscription lists his father as Ksitindraditya and his mother as Narendralakshmi. Suryavarman II is the first Khmer king to be depicted in art. Suryavarman married, but no record exists of his wives' names .

His vision is to let the newest  generation know all about their own country's history , culture and many more things. And the last thing  is he build Angkor Wat for the representation of Cambodia.

  We deserve the King suryavarman II Who Has Entered the Heavenly World of Vishnu.  A modern sculpture that adapts his court image in the Angkor Wat bas reliefs today greets visitors arriving at the Siem Reap airport. And he  depicted in a bas-relief at Angkor Wat .
