$The Bayon Temple is a richly decorated Khmer temple at Angkor in Cambodia. Built in the late 12th or early 13th century as the state temple of the Mahayana Hindu King Jayavarman VII, the Bayon stands at the centre of Jayavarman's capital, Angkor Thom. Following Jayavarman's death, it was modified and augmented by later Theravada Buddhist kings in accordance with their own religious preferences.\nThe Bayon's most distinctive feature is the multitude of serene and smiling stone faces on the many towers which jut out from the upper terrace and cluster around its central peak$

Built in the late 12th and early 13th centuries, the temple is renowned for its towering stone faces and intricate carvings.\n\nThe temple was built by King Jayavarman VII, who sought to create a temple that represented both his Buddhist beliefs and the power and might of the Khmer Empire. Bayon Temple is therefore a unique blend of Buddhist and Hindu iconography, with over 200 carved faces of Avalokiteshvara, the Buddhist bodhisattva of compassion, and numerous scenes from Hindu mythology.$
