Annotations of a full image of the Battle of Kurukshetra Mural at Angkor Wat with reference to the Mahabharata. The Battle Of Kurukshetra Mural is one of several murals on the exterior walls of the central building at Angkor Wat. It depicts the final battle of the great Hindu epic The Mahabharata. The mural was crafted in the early 12th century during the reign of Suryavarman II. These 'scriptopict' annotations and the related information are intended to lead visitors to a deeper appreciation of The Battle Of Kurukshetra Mural and its meaning beyond its much photographed, extraordinary aesthetic beauty.
