Wat Langka, Buddhist temple near Independence Monument, Phnom Penh, Cambodia.
The temple complex features traditional Khmer architecture with ornate decorations, colorful murals, and a central stupa containing Buddhist relics at its heart.
Established in 1422, Wat Langka became one of the five original temples in Phnom Penh and functioned as a meeting place for Cambodian and Sri Lankan Buddhist monks.
The temple maintains its role as a center for Buddhist education, where monks study religious texts and conduct daily ceremonies according to Theravada traditions.
Located at the intersection of Sihanouk Boulevard and Street 51, this temple opens from early morning until late afternoon with no entrance fee required.
The temple houses an extensive collection of Buddhist manuscripts and texts, making it a primary destination for religious scholars studying ancient Buddhist writings.
