The only country in the world, which has a Hindu picture on the flag, is named Cambodia. In the last few years, the flag of this country has been replaced many times, but the drawing of the temple built on it is the same.

The picture made in the flag of Cambodia since 1975 is of Ankorwat temple. This flag has blue straps on the top and bottom and the picture of the temple has been engraved on the red strip in the middle.

Ankorwat is one of the largest religious places in the world. According to experts, it was built by the kings of Mahidharpura in the 12th century. There are five minarets in this temple, but not everyone is visible on the flag.

Only three towers are depicted on the flag of Cambodia. It is a Hindu temple, dedicated to Lord Vishnu. The episodes of Hindu religious texts have been depicted on the walls of this temple.

However, at the end of the century, it was gradually converted into a Buddhist temple, hence it is also known as a Hindu Buddhist temple.

Even though the picture of the Hindu temple is inscribed on the flag of this country, the number of Hindus in Cambodia is very less. Here Hindu is a minority religion.

Hindus live in this country from about 1000 to 1500. According to the Indian Ministry of External Affairs, there are around 1500 Hindus, who work in different sectors.
