- While many people go to Siem Reap to visit Angkor Wat, no trip would be complete without a visit to The Bayon, which is part of the Angkor Thom temple complex. The complex is almost 1,000 years old and is known for its many gigantic smiling stone faces and for its bas reliefs. It was voted the #1 attraction in Siem Reap on TripAdvisor. My visit here is one I will always remember.

Big secret has been reveals it's Hindu temple dedicated to lord BRAHMA 🙏
Reference:-- Praveenmohan the legend ❤️
Revealed? Most Khmer I know understand that the Khmer Empire was started by hindus, Jayavarman II was a Shivist(sp), and much later adopted Buddhism. It's common knowledge, has been for over 50 years.
@@jamesmccreery250 but most of Khmer or combodian not accept it...
@Moonmoon Pati why not documentaries?? Beacuse people of combodia not accepting it (truth) they r brainwashed.......so it's secret for us🙄🙏
We must remember that the Khmer society was completely destroyed about 40 years ago. Education is not widespread, and higher education is down right rare. Most of the population is just happy the Khmer Rouge is gone and don't think beyond those times.
The big statues in the temple with '4Heads'- in Bayon temple resembles the Hindu God Brahma, so it is a Hindu Temple Undoubtedly...

It is Buddhist temple first and foremost. Brahma is an important diety in Buddhism as well as Hinduism. His image made it easier to unite both Buddhist and Hindu believers. For primary Hindu temple, there is usually at least giant statue of Vishnu or Shiva.
@@Account.for.Comment Well it has many shivlingas and also a giant shivling which has been broken (I don't know why?)
It walls clearly depicts that it was an hindu temple later converted into Buddhist.
@@Sahil-dz5ur There are over a thousand temples in the area. Over 1 thousands Lingas are in Phnom Kulen. There are temples built by Buddhist kings and Hindu kings. There is a giant Shiva statue in Koh Ker and a giant Vishnu Statue in Angkor Wat in their center respectively. (Built by Hindu Kings) Bayon had giant Brahma statues and a Buddha Statue in its center instead (Built by a Buddhist King). There are attempts of conversion by Hindu fanatics after his death which is unsuccessful. Angkor Wat slowly "converted" because as the populace became more Buddhists, Buddha statues were put there. The Hindu statues remained untouched. Again, you people clearly never been there.
Most of the wall carvings of the Buddhas from those times is found on the Bayon. They are connected to the other bas reliefs of the people' s lives, the armies and the dieties, which was the orginal parts of the temple and is difficult to modify. Bayon is a state temple made for unifying the populace. Since the populace are a hybrid of hindus and buddhists, icons of both religions are found there. Other state temples are similar. The king as the chief decision maker always want his prefered religion, to take precedents.
First & foremost It Is a Hindu Temple dedicated to Brahma who has 4 faces that gaze 4 different directions - very obvious considering it is the main architectural feature - the carvings of Buddha found there are small & of little significance (some believed were carved at a later date when Buddhism became more prevalent) compared to the megalithic proportions of the faces of Brahma - something that the Cambodians don’t tell others of for obvious reasons,but anybody with a little learning/understanding can easily work out🤨
@@Sahil-dz5ur this is not shivlinga.this is buddhist stupa
Ita hindu temple
Wonderful!
The four smiling faces r of God Brahama who has four heads .
There r about 216 such faces as 108 is a sacred no for hindus .
The faces could be Lokesvara or even the king himself.
Wrong it's not Brahma
216 faces connected with 216 alphabets in Tamil as this was built by Tamils.
@@sakdavith6969 they are of Brahma
@@sakdavith6969 Why would king carve his face with four sides in so huge numbers?
Its a hindu temple . The two rows of gods and demons show the Churning of Sea ( Samudra Manthan)
These were built by Hindu King JaiVerman , Surya Verman II who was a tamil Hindu king .
This shows Samudra Manthan . The person who has made this video has to correct himself . Its a hindu temple .
Usha Upreti no it’s a Bhuddist temple
@@garyroberts3859 It has an Hindu temple later only Buddhism was adapted.
@@karthikdon5 the Bayon was built as a Bhuddist temple
@@garyroberts3859 Where is the proof for it?
@@karthikdon5 it’s all over Google if you bother to look, many organizations say it was constructed as a Bhuddist Temple, not Hindu
So many came here after listen Praveen Mohan well yes it seems it is temple of Brahma the creator of everything
Its hindu temple......atlast revealed by Praveenmohan...gd
What do you mean by alternated between a hindu temple and a bhuddhist temple?
They both represent each other in a lot of ways... and they don't have to alternate for existence.
What I meant is that throughout it's history, the temple alternated between being a Buddhist temple and a Hindu temple, depending on who the ruler was at the time.
@@AndysAwesomeAdventures pls see Praveen Mohan's video on this
Great
That is samudra manthan.... and the mountain is carved in view of lord brahmha and the vishnu and shiva are inside the temple.
The mountain is called JAVASHRI.
These statues represent The great "Avalokiteshvara" which is the earthly manifestation of the self-born eternal Buddha Amitabha, whose figure is represented in his headdress, and he guards the world in the interval between the departure of the historical Buddha, Gautama, and the appearance of the future buddha, Maitreya.
2:43 Not dancing girl...she’s the queen look at how she’s dressing and wearing in a very wealthy way
I think so
He say wrong
Why are there dancing girls in a buddha temple🤔
She is mother lakshmi, the wife of vishnu not a human queen.
Must visit kailash temple in ellora . (Maharashtra , india) . Largest rockcut monolithic structure in the world . an underrated wonder
What time of day did you go to Bayon? The light is amazing and there's no crowd!
I don't remember the time of day but I think that generally, it's not very crowded because everyone knows Ankor Wat but not necessarily Angkor Thom.
@@AndysAwesomeAdventures unfortunately I think people do know now a lot of recent pictures and videos show a lot of crowds there
Good
Yes because some land in Thailand belongs to Cambodia
Cambodia has alot of timple
in thailands
you make me laugh. cambodians just a savage. That's why you were taken by us or France for labor.
This is indhu bramma temple
ស្អាតណាស់
This temple is Brahma Hindu temple intially the faces that you see from 4 sites is Brahma not Buddha, Buddha will not wear tall kreedham or tall hat, Buddhist believe in simplicity so the faces is wearing ornaments and big earrings clearly indicating it was initially built for purpose for Brahma and after few years where the Buddhist been introduced it was changed as Buddhist temple. This place is sacred as Angkor wat as well but the king Jayavarman as a great vision once. Hindu or buddist is not a important take the good and leave the bad.
Gotta love the 800 year warranty 👽
The ancient black Khmer people still around, even though the 1900 yr war murdered thousands
R I P ancient ancestors🌹
They were never black/African. Sorry to crush your Kemet dreams
In Hindu scripts they informs about parallel universe (Other Brahma can be from other universe).😃😃
It's not a Buddhist temple. It's a Hindu Temple built for Lord Brahma
this is a hindu temple and dedicated to lord shiva.. in hindu tradition brahma worship is prohibited.. i.e. there is only one or two temple r there in india dedicated to brahma. the faces on the temple tower are not of brahma. brahma have 4 faces but shiva the mahadeva cut of one of them so brahma shows with three faces... the second and most importatnt thing is that according to hindu icongraphy brahma always shown with beard.. here all faces are beardless. so it is not of brahma.. you can see there is a third eye on forehead of the stone face. that is a biggest sign of hindus supreme god i. e. mahadeva.. from jayvarman 1 there is big tradition of shiva worship in combodia.. from petra to shreelanka via combodia, vietenam, indonesia, india lots of country there is shiva worship is prime.. before ad and it started receding after 8 th century
it is not brahma temple..
Buddha never wear jewellery and also the 4 big heads represent Brahma and Samundra manthan is also shown, It's a Hindu temple.
Buddhist hi hai kyonki itnaa sundar aur taakatvar koi aur Ho nahi sakataa.
Abe chutiye hindu temple hai
Really? Angkor wat is also beautiful but it is Vishnu temple.
Buddha never wear any kind of jewellery. Why there are jewellery there on every carving?
Who narrates the situation of churning of ocean? Buddhism?
There’s NO statues of Buddha. Brahma
THIS IS 200% Hindu Temple 🕉🙏🚩😊✌No doubt,, Nothing to do will Buddhism
Brammha
@@vinolochi9551 yes fully agree 🙏👍🚩🕉️
Cambodians, they don't know. Always trying to convert to a Buddhist temple.
They may try to change the noses, and who they really are "black ppl" psalm 83 :1-5
