Angkor Wat, Cambodia ka sabse prasiddh aur sabse mahatvapurna Hindu-Buddhist temple hai jo Siem Reap shahar ke paas sthit hai. Yeh mandir, 12th century mein King Suryavarman II ne banvaya tha, aur iska naam Sanskrit shabdon "Angkor" jo "nagar" ko aur "Wat" jo "temple" ko darshata hai, se mil kar bana hai. Angkor Wat ki visheshata yeh hai ki yeh ek Hindu temple ke roop mein bana tha, lekin dhire-dhire yeh ek Buddhist mandir bhi bana.
Angkor Wat ki shuruat 12th century mein hui jab King Suryavarman II ne isse banvaya tha. Is mandir ka nirman yakshagana (stone carving) aur khudai ke madhyam se kiya gaya tha. Suryavarman II ne Angkor Wat ko apne dharmik visheshagya aur rajnaitik shakti ka pratik ke roop mein banvaya tha. Usne is mandir ko Bhagwan Vishnu ke samarpan kiya tha.
Angkor Wat ka nirman ek katha se juda hua hai. Kahani hai ki Devaloka (Devgan) ke devtaon ne amrit ki khoj mein samudra manthan kiya tha, jiske doran samudra se amrit aur visha nikla. Devtaon aur asuron ke beech yudh chhid gaya, jise amrit ke prapti ke liye kiya gaya tha. Iss yudh mein Bhagwan Vishnu ne bhag lete hue asuron ka vadh kiya aur amrit ko devtaon ko diya. Yeh sthiti ko darshane ke liye Bhagwan Vishnu ne Bhoomi par Swarg ke darshan ke liye mandir banvaya.
Angkor Wat ki Adbhut Design aur Architecture
Angkor Wat ki architecture aur design duniya bhar mein prasiddh hai. Yeh mandir ek bahut bada complex hai, jismein alag-alag prakar ke mandir, prangan, aur kund hain. Iska mukhya dharohar "temple mountain" ke roop mein jana jata hai. Yeh mandir panch mandiron se mil kar bana hai, jismein pramukh mandir central mandir hai aur char chhote mandir use charon dishaon mein surround karte hain.
Angkor Wat ki sabse khaas baat hai uske yakshaganas (stone carvings) aur shilpkala mein. Mandir ki diwaron par khudai se bane intricate designs aur sculptures aaj bhi logon ko prabhavit karte hain. In sculptures mein Hindu devi-devtaon ke alawa, yuddhon aur dharmik kathao ke drishya bhi hain. Yeh sculptures mandir ki bhavyata ko aur bhi badhate hain.
Angkor Wat ka ek bada dharmik mahatva hai. Yeh mandir Hindu aur Buddhist dharm ke prabhav ko darshata hai. Is mandir mein originally Hindu devi-devtaon ki murtiyaan thi lekin bad mein isse Buddhist mandir mein badal diya gaya. Yeh transformation dharmik samriddhi aur cultural exchange ka pratik hai.
Angkor Wat, 1992 mein UNESCO World Heritage Site ban gaya. Yeh darja uss samay se iske prachin itihas, kala, aur sanskriti ke darshane ka ek ahem sthal ban gaya hai. UNESCO ne isse "outstanding universal value" ke liye recognize kiya hai aur iski maintenance aur preservation ko mahatva diya hai.
Angkor Wat: Aaj aur Bhavishya
Aaj, Angkor Wat Cambodia ka ek pramukh tourist attraction hai. Log yahan aakar iski sundarta aur mahatva ko mahsus karte hain. Parantu, yahan ke adhikarikon aur UNESCO ke efforts ke bawajood, iske saamne ab bhi preservation aur environmental damage ke challenges hain. Yahan ke tourism aur development se judi sujh-bujh ki avashyakta hai taaki Angkor Wat ki sundarta aur mahatva ko barkaraar rakha ja sake.
Angkor Wat ek aise sthal hai jo dharohar, kala, aur dharm ka sundar sangam darshata hai. Iski mahatva ko samajhna aur iski suraksha ko mahatva dena hum sabka kartavya hai, taaki yeh pratibha aur samriddhi ka ek anmol hissa ban kar humare future generations tak pahunch sake.
