Cambodia: Laypeople and Buddhist monks, nuns and novices congregate after a mass almsgiving ceremony in the heart of Angkor Thom, Angkor. Angkor Thom is located one mile north of Angkor Wat. It was built in the late 12th century by King Jayavarman VII, and covers an area of 9 km², within which are located several monuments from earlier eras as well as those established by Jayavarman and his successors. At the centre of the city is Jayavarman's state temple, the Bayon, with the other major sites clustered around the Victory Square immediately to the north.
