Answer:

classical style of Khmer architecture

Step-by-step explanation:

Tamil rulers did not build Angkor Wat. However, it was built under Tamil (Chola) rule. Suryavarman II built the Angkor Wat. It was during the reign of Kulothunga I (Rajendra Chola's son) that Suryavarman II ascended the throne in Cambodia.

Angkor Wat is the prime example of the classical style of Khmer architecture—the Angkor Wat style—to which it has given its name. By the 12th century Khmer architects had become skilled and confident in the use of sandstone (rather than brick or laterite) as the main building material.

Cambodian architecture has become synonymous with Khmer architecture and more precisely to the iconic constructions of Angkor temples during the growth and peak of Khmer Empire. The architecture and construction field in Cambodia is a main priority and a basic foundation of social development.
