The transformation of a river into a holy entity occurs through its association with sacred symbols, exemplified by the Ganges flowing over a lingam. Furthermore, Angkor Wat is highlighted as a preeminent landmark in Hindu culture, constructed 600 years after significant shifts in trade and culture post-Roman Empire.
