$The Bayon Temple is a richly decorated Khmer temple at Angkor in Cambodia. Built in the late 12th or early 13th century as the state temple of the Mahayana Hindu King Jayavarman VII, the Bayon stands at the centre of Jayavarman's capital, Angkor Thom. Following Jayavarman's death, it was modified and augmented by later Theravada Buddhist kings in accordance with their own religious preferences.\nThe Bayon's most distinctive feature is the multitude of serene and smiling stone faces on the many towers which jut out from the upper terrace and cluster around its central peak$

There are 173 gigantic faces remaining on Bayon’s towers. Theories going on over who the faces actually represent Many local Khmer believe that they represent the Four Faces of Prohm (Brahma) carved in the image of the Jayavarman VII himself as the Buddhist God-King
