Zed, the president of the Universal Society of
Hinduism, has announced a temple located in Angkor,
Cambodia, which featured in the motion picture
Lara Croft Tomb Raider, has been renamed 'Angelina
Jolie Temple' by locals, reports The
Guardian.
"It's
a 12th-century site called Ta Prohm; it is otherwise
known as Old Brahma and was initially named Rajavihara
or the royal monastery," he said. "Now it's popularly
called the Angelina Jolie Temple."

Zed hopes the actress will use her public profile
to raise awareness of conservation efforts in
the region. "I'd urge Angelina Jolie to raise
awareness about better preservation of this world
heritage, as more needs to be done to safeguard
the temple complex and its surroundings."
