In Hindu mythology, Lord Brahma (ព្រះព្រហ្ម) is the progenitor of all reality.

Hindu iconography and symbolism have maintained a ubiquitous presence in Cambodia polity and society for over two millennia. Many aspects of Brahaminist culture and ritual are still followed by Cambodians, and Hindu deities worshipped, alongside Buddhism. Many aspects of Cambodian political culture also demonstrate strong Hindu influences and heritage. Our executive director, Anirudh S. Bhati, will talk about these influences at Nerd Night on Monday, 15 January 2018. 

Nerd Night is a periodical event scheduled roughly once every 2-3 weeks. It is based on the Pecha Kutcha-style of presenting which encourages talks to be concise and to the point without too much detail, as there are exactly 20 slides and each moves on a forced 20 second timer.
