Summary

Hinduism and Buddhism have in Southeast Asia prompted impressive architecture, including Angkor Vat and the Borubodur, with a lasting influence on the architecture of the area.

The contrasts and similarities described between the religious structures of the different countries shed light on the religious history of the area. -- Publisher.
