The style is characterized by wide gallery spaces, central sanctuaries in a circular ground-plan surrounded by an array of chapels, and towers positioned atop sanctuaries adorned with carved, large-scale faces. The style is driven by fervent religious sentiment and spiritual obligations to provide a central rendezvous and respite for the gods to conduct celestial ceremonies. ]]></termNote><termCreatedDate>2026-03-30 20:57:04</termCreatedDate><relation><relationType>BT</relationType><termId>31406511</termId><termName>Angkor Thom</termName><termType>PT</termType></relation></term>  </Zthes>
