Angkor Wat

Bhakthi TV Channel retelecast a documentary about Angkor Wat in Cambodia, this evening. If the temple had got retained as it was first built to be a Shree Mahaa Vishnu temple, it would have been nice. Sadly Shree Mahaa Vishnu idols got replaced by Budhdhaa statues. Now it stands as a historic site instead of a religious site. When I say 'historic', I mean history that included destroying facts. I honestly think that the UNESCO Heritage state for this site should be removed and re-established only when Shree Mahaa Vishnu idols are placed with Vishnavite honours and rituals, and Budhdhaa statues are removed permanently.

Jai Shree Lakshmi Naaraayanaa🙏.
