Religion during the Khmer era. sent on January 15, 2026 (12:23) by Lorisb. 3 comments, 24 views.

at 22mm, 1/13 f/8.0, ISO 2500, hand held. Angkor, Cambodia.

L'immagine mostra una statua del Buddha seduto all'interno del Tempio di Bayon, situato nel centro di Angkor Thom, in Cambogia. Durante l'epoca Khmer, la Cambogia vide alternarsi regnanti che praticavano sia l'induismo che il buddismo, con una prevalenza iniziale di sovrani indù e un'adozione del buddismo come religione di stato più tardi. Molti sovrani abbracciarono entrambe le fedi, creando una cultura sincretica, mentre altri seguirono strettamente un credo o l'altro in diversi momenti della storia dell'impero.

Jayavarman VII: È considerato l'ultimo dei grandi re di Angkor e un fervente seguace del Buddismo Mahayana.

Sotto il suo regno fu costruita Angkor Thom, con il tempio di Bayon decorato con le raffigurazioni del bodhisattva Avalokiteśvara.

La scultura a sinistra è un leone guardiano, un motivo comune all'ingresso dei templi Khmer.
La scultura a destra è un'Apsara, una figura di ninfa celeste o ballerina della mitologia indù e buddista, spesso raffigurata nell'arte Khmer.
