- Holy or blessed water flow from stone mountain at ruins Wat Phou Hindu temple in the Khmer Empire located in the capital of the Champasak Laos.nnThe Khmer ruins of Wat Phou are located in the capital of the Champasak District. Wat Phou was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site on December 14, 2001. It is the second such site in Laos. The temple complex, built in the Khmer style, overlooks the Mekong River and was an important Hindu temple in the Khmer Empire. At the same location are the ruins of other pre-Angkor monuments. Wat Phou Asa is an ancient Hindu-Khmer pagoda, built on flat rock on Phou Kao Klat Ngong Mount in Pathoumphone District.nnWat Phou or Vat Phu, which translates to “mountain temple†was built during the late 10th to early 11th century, which makes it older than Angkor’s best known monument, the Angkor Wat, which was built during the first half of the 12th century. Over the following centuries structures were added to the temple until the 14th century when the Angkor empire went into decline.nnThe Wat Phou was a temple dedicated to Shiva, one of the Gods of the Hindu Trimurti. In the 13th century it was converted into a Buddhist monastery. Even today the temple is still a place of worship for local Buddhists.nn
