On the plains of Cambodia
30 June 2006 (The Hindu) - Travel piece on the Angkor temples in Cambodia.
It is an incredible sight to see the temples on the plains of Cambodia. These 100 or so temples were built when Hindu kings reigned over a period of time from the 9th to 13th century. These magnificent temples were constructed out of stones, which were reserved for the gods while the people dwelt in houses made of wood and mud.
