Suryavarman's commitment to Vishnu likewise appears in the after death name he was given, "Paramavishnuloka" which, as indicated by specialist Hélène Legendre-De Koninck.
Development systems
Building Angkor Wat was a tremendous undertaking that included quarrying, watchful masterful work, and bunches of burrowing. To make the channel around the sanctuary, 1.5 million cubic meters (53 million cubic feet) of sand and residue were moved, an errand that would have required a huge number of individuals working at one time.
The structures at Angkor Wat represented their own difficulties. To bolster them an intense material called laterite was utilized, which thusly was encased with milder sandstone that was utilized for cutting the reliefs. These sandstone squares were quarried at the Kulen Hills, around 18 miles (30 km) toward the north. Late research demonstrates that they were transported to the site by a progression of waterways.
Underneath the focal tower was a pole that prompts a chamber where, in 1934 including that stores like these "profoundly "empowered" a sanctuary, much as a battery will give energy to a versatile electronic gadget."

Reason
Despite the fact that Angkor Wat is committed to Vishnu, the full reason for the sanctuary is still faced off regarding. One inquiry is whether the cinders of Suryavarman II were entombed in the landmark, maybe in the same chamber where the stores were found. In the event that that were the situation it would give the sanctuary a funerary importance.
Eleanor Mannikka has noticed that Angkor Wat is situated at 13.41 degrees north in scope and that the north-south hub of the focal tower's chamber is 13.43 cubits in length. This, Mannikka accepts, is not a mishap. "In the focal haven, Vishnu is not just put at the scope of Angkor Wat, he is additionally set along the hub of the earth," she composes, bringing up that the Khmer knew the Earth was round.
Furthermore, in her written work, Mannikka takes note of twelve lunar arrangements with Angkor Wat's towers, proposing that it served a critical cosmic pa,rt. "Amid the long and clear Cambodian evenings, when the stars filled every last bit of the dark sky, the stargazer clerics remained on the long western highway ... what's more, recorded the developments of the moon against the towers in the main two exhibitions of the sanctuary."
