Suryavarman II , posthumously named
Paramavishnuloka, was a Khmer king of the
Khmer Empire from 1113 AD to 1145-1150 AD and the builder of
Angkor Wat, the largest religious monument in the world which he dedicated to the Hindu God
Vishnu (one of the persons of
Trimurti). His reign's monumental architecture, numerous military campaigns and restoration of strong government have led historians to rank Suryavarman as one of the empire's greatest kings.
