The Procession of Suryavarman is a bas-relief executed on the west section of the South Gallery of Angkor Wat. Unlike the other bas-reliefs of Angkor Wat which usually take on themes from the Mahabharata epic, this particular bas-relief is based on historical event. It shows the god-king Suryavarman II, the builder of Angkor Wat in a procession with his army.
