At
a time Indian Government is pledged to destruct our Heritage sites for
the reason it  will glorify Sanathana Dharma , UNESCO listed a Siva
Temple -Preah Vihear in Cambodia in their list of  World Heritage site.

The
recognition received to Preah Vihear – A 11 th Century Hindu Temple is
also a reminder about the glory and reach of Hinduism in all South East
Asian countries.

Construction of the first temple on the site
began in the early 9th century; both then and in the following
centuries it was dedicated to the Hindu god Shiva in his manifestations
as the mountain gods Sikharesvara and Bhadresvara. The temple was
constructed during the reigns of the kings Suryavarman I (1002–1050)
and Suryavarman II (1113–1150).

An inscription found at the
temple provides a detailed account of Suryavarman II studying sacred
rituals, celebrating religious festivals and making gifts, including
white parasols, golden bowls and elephants, to his spiritual advisor,
the aged Brahman Divakarapandita. The Brahman himself took an interest
in the temple, according to the inscription, donating to it a golden
statue of a dancing Shiva.

Ankor Vat is another Cambodian
Hindu Temple noted for it’s architectural and artistic perfection, not
to mention its sheer size. The Temple Dedicated to Vishnu is build by
Surya Varman 11 in 12th century. The Temple walls are sculpted with
Hindu Epics of Mahabharatha and Ramayana.

Hinduism in
Southeast Asia influenced the former Champa civilization in southern
parts of Central Vietnam, Funan in Cambodia, the Khmer Empire in
Indochina, the Srivijayan kingdom on Sumatra, the Singhasari kingdom
and the Majapahit Empire based in Java, Bali, and the Philippine
archipelago. The civilization of India influenced the languages,
scripts, calendars, and artistic aspects of these peoples and nations.
