Ta Prohm Temple (Cambodia)

The ancient temple of Ta Prohm in Siem Reap built by the Khmer king Jayavarman VII in the early 13th century is built in Bayon style of architecture. The Ta Prohm temple was built to serve as a Mahayana Buddhist monastery and University and is one of the most visited sites in the Angkor complex. The overgrown trees have become one with the foundations of the temple giving it a very picturesque look. The temple is the subject of the partnership project between an archaeological survey of India and APSARA to preserve and restore the Ta Prohm temple. These authorities have done extensive work to preserve the temple in the same condition it was found in and undertake systematic restoration.

History of Ta Prohm Temple

Ta Prohm Temple in Siem Reap was abandoned after the fall of the Khmer empire, and this ‘flat’ temple has been in existence that made its own place in the whole complex. Through centuries of facing neglect, the temple has itself become a part of the jungle, and yet, has not completely merged in the jungle. The plants and trees have claimed and become part of the majority of the structures, and this adds to the appeal of the temple. After the temple was rediscovered, it was decided to leave the temple as it is due to the picturesque setting and not knowing what effects shall removing the trees have on the structure of the temple itself. Ta Prohm was left in very much the same state it was discovered due to an extensive tree and plantation growth in the temple structures giving it a natural feel of being one with nature itself.

Given the world heritage status in 1992, the temple is also the site for the filming of the famous Tomb Raider movie and the overgrown trees have been an enticing attraction to the tourists because of the photogenic nature of this temple.

Architecture of Ta Prohm temple

Ta Prohm Temple does not have an architecture of its own. Ever since the fall of theKhmer Empire in the 15th century, Ta Prohm was left at nature’s grace. In the 21st century, restoration work was started for its temples. The entire restoration process was supervised by the French experts. However, these experts decided that it is best to leave this masterpiece to nature.

In recent years, extensive conservation work has taken place. The alleyways are now equipped with wooden pavements and handrails.

Significance of Ta Prohm Temple

Ta Prohm Temple in Siem Reap, Cambodia was built in the year 1186. It was earlier known as Rajavihara which translates to Monastery of the King. A Buddhist temple, Ta Prohm was dedicated to the mother of Jayavarman VII. Ta Prohm Temple is very significant because it is one of the few temples in the region of Angkor Wat where you will find all the information about the temple’s inhabitants and descendants given on an inscription. It is believed that nearly 80,000 people were originally required to take care or attend at the temple.

Facts About Ta Prohm Temple

Ta Prohm Temple was originally known as the Rajavihar right after its construction in the year 1186. However, the name was changed later.

Ta Prohm temple holds a prominent place in Hollywood. A scene starring the celebrated Hollywood actress Angelina Jolie in the famous “Tomb Raider” was shot here.

Although the temple was built by the end of the 12th century, it was discovered as late as the 20th century.

    Somnathkotal's 7 days trip to Siem Reap

    Over all experience is good. Travel agents are very supportive throughout the tour. Most of places we found vegetarian food, so that is very well arranged by travel agency. Only at the cruise experience was not so great, we had given promises by travel agency that the cruise is being upgraded, but
    it was small boat with only 25 guest and we didn't have private balcony and we saw all very good looking cruise arround us with private balcony, so don't feel so great there. Also at da nang our trip starts at 3:30 pm afternoon but we had to check out early at 12 and for 3 & half hours we were sitting in lobby in high humidity and had nothing to do arround. I think these things travel agency can do better.

    Rahul's 11 days trip to Siem Reap

    The journey to Vietnam started from an inquiry with Ms Junie .... and from there onwards its smooth planning and excitement to be there. I should give the entire credit to Junie here; because of her excellent planning we had an amazing 10 days tour to Vietnam and Cambodia. She has helped us on ea
    ch and every step and now we are good friends with her. We went for the sightseeing purpose and we ended making some amazing friends. The hotel suggestions and itinerary were extremely well planned and the hotel locations were simply spot on in terms of self-exploration. The meals and excursion activities with the transfer were extremely comfortable. For those who are looking for the Vietnam -Cambodia experience I would simply direct you towards Junie, cause makes your trip memorable. Thanks Asia Authentic & Travel Triangle. Just one suggestion for Travel Triangle do not take extra 1.8 % on credit cards it is against the Gov of India rules. Junie sees you soon for the next vacation. until then whats aping ....

    Overall a very great experience on the trip. While there were communication issues with the agent which may have impacted some of the choices we made for the trip, the support given during the trip was very good. They were able to manage or compensate when things did not go according to plan or expe
    ctations and this was without any ask from our side !! Vietnam and Cambodia has a lot of interesting places to see and i think we made the right choice in going with TT Visiting the temples in Siem Reap. Angkor wat and others. The guide was very patient in explaining the history and culture behind them.
