Wat Phnom — A beautiful Buddhist Temple

Wat Phnom is a Buddhist temple, a pagoda, that symbolizes the name of Phnom Penh, a historical site in the record of Khmer national identity. Wat Phnom has a total height of 46 meters. The pagoda is named after Lady Penh from the story of the discovery of the five statues: one Vishnu statue and four Buddha statues. Erected in 1373, the temple was used to house four Buddha statues, which were allegedly discovered by an old wealthy lady named Penh who then constructed a small shrine on the site to protect the statues. Its a small beautiful temple. You can see religious ceremonies all day around. Many people visit to pray and perform ceremonies. #buddhist #religiousculture #phnompenh #cambodia
