Buddhist symbolism in the foundation of the temple by King Jayavarman VII.The Bayon (Khmer:Prasat Bayon) is a well-known and richly decorated Khmer temple at Angkor in Cambodia. The Bayon's most distinctive feature is the multitude of serene and massive stone faces on the many towers which jut out from the upper terrace and cluster around its central peak.[2] The temple is known also for two impressive sets of bas-reliefs, which present an unusual combination of mythological, historical, and mundane scenes. The current main conservatory body, the Japanese Government Team for the Safeguarding of Angkor (the JSA) has described the temple as the most striking expression of the baroque style of Khmer architecture, as contrasted with the classical style of Angkor Wat.
