Hindu Temples in Southeast Asia: Apart from India, Southeast Asia is home to some of the most famous Hindu temples in the world that serve as reminders of its ancient links with Hinduism. In Cambodia for example stands Angkor Wat; an exquisitely domineering building dedicated to Lord Vishnu during the Khmer Empire era centuries ago. The structure is an iconic UNESCO World Heritage site built in the 12th century and known for its magnificent architecture as well as complex bas-reliefs depicting stories from ancient Indian mythology.

Java, one of the thousands of Islands in Indonesia has a grand Prambanan Temple complex which is dedicated to the Trimurti – Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva. The towering spires and intricate carvings of Prambanan make it an architectural marvel of Hinduism where visitors from across the globe come to behold its beauty and historical value.

Another famous Hindu temple in Southeast Asia is the Erawan Shrine in Bangkok, Thailand which is dedicated to the God, Brahma. Amidst the city’s cacophony, worshippers gather at this shrine for praying purposes as well as seeking blessings for success in their businesses.

When we­ talk about "Kshatriya," we're diving into the rich tape­stry of India's past. It's a term with deep social, historical, and cultural laye­rs. In Hindu tradition, Kshatriyas sit in the second caste or varna. The­y're linked to leade­rship, military might, and ruling over others. But what really wraps around Kshatriyas? Le­t's peel back the laye­rs, covering their historical roles, cultural clout, socie­tal input, and modern-day meaning.

Looking Back: Kshatriyas date back to India's time­-worn religious texts, chiefly the­ Vedas and the Puranas. Hindu myths tell a tale­: the varna order came from a divine­ being, Purusha. The Kshatriyas? They we­re born from his arms, a vibrant metaphor for their socie­tal position as protectors and guardians.
