Hanuman Ji History In Khmer Hanuman:


Hanuman is a godlike figure in Cambodia history from the Angkor period. He features predominantly in the Reamker, a Cambodian epic poem, based on the Sanskrit's Ramayana epic.[47] The original Ramayana arrived to Southeast Asia from South India along with Hinduism, but its retelling there suggests Buddhist influence. Intricate carvings on the walls of Angkor Wat depict a scene from the Ramayana dating back nearly a millennium.[48]

















 Statues of the poem's heroes were worshiped in temple sanctuaries, akin to the wall paintings at Cambodia's Royal Palace and Wat Bo. The Thai Hanuman stems from the same origins, during a time when it was part of the Angkor Empire.
