Celestial alignment: The most unique feature is the Equinox sunrise, a celestial event where the sun aligns perfectly with the central tower as it rises. This happens around the spring equinox in late March and the autumn equinox in late September.
Ancient design: The temple's builders deliberately oriented Angkor Wat to the east to symbolize life and divine energy, using precise measurements to achieve this astronomical alignment during key times of the year.
Reflection and symbolism: The sunrise is particularly striking when viewed from the reflecting ponds in front of the temple, which perfectly mirror the structure and the sky. This reflection has religious significance, symbolizing the balance between the cosmic ocean and the heavens.
