India builds a replica of Angkor Wat

A 10 years project will spend $20 million to build the world's tallest temple, 68 meters or 5 stories but it's a bit smaller Cambodia's famed temple complex. The replica temple will named Angkor Nagar (means city in Hindi word), located about 40 kilometers from Bihar state capital of Patna.

The replica temple will help to promote Cambodia's Angkor Wat temple and bring more foreign tourists come to see the real one.
