CambodiaŹ¼s ancient temple complex Angkor Wat was built during the 12th century by the Khmer ruler Suryavaram II. Originally a Hindu temple dedicated to Vishnu, it was adapted for use as a Buddhist shrine during the following century by King Srindravarman. During the 1980s the Indian government started restoration work at the site and in 1992 UNESCO recognised Angkor Wat as a World Heritage Site. The United Nations body also helped fund further restoration work.
