Baphuon Temple is located within Angkor Thom, about 200 meters northwest of Bayon Temple. It was built by King Udayadityavarman II as a state temple dedicated to the Hindu god Shiva. This magnificent structure was once the center of Angkor Thom, existing even before the city was built. As most of the temple has collapsed, few carvings remain, and the numerous scattered stones may be your deepest impression. The temple features a 200-meter walkway supported by three rows of round stone pillars, with a cruciform pavilion in the middle and ponds on both sides. The pyramid-shaped Mount Meru temple consists of three tiers of platforms, with steep staircases. On the back of the temple, a 70-meter-long, 9-meter-high reclining Buddha is carved on the second tier wall, a rare sight in Angkor monuments.

Tempio buddista,situato nel cuore di Phnom phen,costruito sopra l unica collina della città,dove storia vuole sia stato,il punto dove la signora Penh ha ritrovato 4 statue di budda trasportate dalla piena del fiume Mekong nell anno 1372,posto dove tutt' ora oggi si respira un aria di quiete e spiritualità,e frequentato dalla.popolazione sia per ritrovare ristoro dalmcaldo grazie alla vegetazione lussureggiante che lo circonda,sia per chiedere una grazia,alle difficoltà della vita, consigliatissimo per chi desidera assaporare un approccio di spiritualità,e pace

I brought myself to run from home, located on street 197 across from BKK, to Wat Butom garden to participate in “Viksit Bharat Run 2025”, which is a Sunday challenge to boost my motivation to move on 🏃‍♀️
