Summary edit

Description
Français : Vishnu, bas-relief. Galerie intérieure Sud. Bayon. De part et d'autre, divers personnages lui rendent hommage. Première moitié du 13e siècle.

Vishnu est représenté avec ses 4 bras et ses attributs : la massue (symbole du pouvoir de la connaissance), le disque Sudarshana (symbole de la puissance de l'esprit), la conque (symbole de la création) et le lotus (symbole de la pureté et de la vérité). _________________

Le Bayon est le temple-montagne du roi khmer : Jayavarman VII (1181-1218), le vainqueur des Chams et le plus grand constructeur des rois khmers. La construction du Bayon a commencé vers 1195. Ce temple est célèbre pour ses 54 tours décorées par 4 visages.

Comme temple d'Etat, il était au centre d'Angkor Thom, la capitale du royaume. C'est un temple "œcuménique " qui associe l'hindouisme (les dieux Shiva et Vishnu y sont largement présents) et le bouddhisme car le Roi était lui-même bouddhiste du grand véhicule : Mahâyâna. Le Roi et la famille royale étaient représentés dans le Bayon sous forme de bouddhas dans les chapelles entourant la grande tour centrale.
