http://www.lightstalkers.org/galleries/contact_sheet/15130 Cambodian Temples in Angkor "The Fundamental architecture element of a temple is a shrine in the form of a tower situated at the centre of the plan...The Shrine housed the sacred image which embodied the power of the King and represented a symbolic relationships between ruler and divinity...an appropriate temple had to be constructed for the ceremony that consecrated this relationship...only then the harmony with the order of the universe ensured: without it society could not prosper and proliferate...the temple then served as a link between man and the gods" [Dawn Rooney, Angkor: Cambodia's Wonderous Khmer Temples (Hong Kong: Odyssey Books, 2006, 119] http://www.lightstalkers.org en-us
