Angkor Wat, oh, Angkor Wat. It is a place that commands respect and deep emotions and feelings. It is inspirational, it is poetic.
These vast area comprising of temples, royal palaces, arenas, schools, residential areas are testament to the creativity and civilization of Asians in general and the Cambodians in particular. Both of Hindu and Buddhist influences, the place tells a story of a rich past, of wars, of victories, of conquests, of worship, of love, of fables, of gods.
It is spiritual, it is moving. Particularly, I find the sunset in Angkor Wat to be of a different kind. As the sun descends upon the place, it casts shadows. You see reflections of your own self, of your life, and the world. The moat surrounding the ancient city is a sight to behold with its wide waterways and well-outlined borders. It calms even the most fickle and restless of hearts.
It is definitely a great place to visit.
