Ta Prohm

Ta Prohm is the modern name for a temple near Siem Reap, Cambodia, about one kilometer east of Angkor Thom on the southern edge of the East Baray, built largely in the late twelfth and early thirteenth centuries in the Bayon style under its original name, Rajavihara. Founded by the Khmer king Jayavarman VII as a Mahayana Buddhist monastery and center of learning dedicated to his mother, it required almost 80,000 people to maintain or attend, including more than 2,700 officials and 615 dancers.
