Ta Prohm - in Siem Reap, Cambodia

This is the part II of Ta Prohm which we visited during our recent visit to Siem Reap, Cambodia.





























Ta Prohm is worth exploration of its dark corridors and open plazas. This temple was one of Jayavarman VII's first major temple projects.Ta Prohm was dedicated to his mother. (Preah Khan , built shortly after Ta Prohm in the same general style, was dedicated to Jayavarman VII's father).

Ta Prohm was originally constructed as a Buddhist monastery and was enormously weathly in its time, boasting of control over 3000 villages, thousands of support staff and vast stores of jewels and gold. Of the monastic complex style temples, Ta Prohm is a superior example and should be included in almost any temple itinerary.
