Ta Prohm was built in the Bayon style largely in the late 12th and early 13th centuries and originally called Rajavihara. It is located 1km east of Angkor Thom. It was founded by the Khmer King Jayavarman VII as a Mahayana Buddhist monastery and university.<br/><br/>The trees growing out of the ruins are perhaps the most distinctive feature of Ta Prohm. Two species predominate, but sources disagree on their identification: the larger is either the silk-cotton tree (Ceiba pentandra) or thitpok (Tetrameles nudiflora), and the smaller is either the strangler fig (Ficus gibbosa) or Gold Apple (Diospyros decandra).

The pinpeat orchestra or musical ensemble performs the ceremonial music of the​ royal courts and temples of Cambodia. The orchestra consists of approximately nine or ten instruments, mainly wind and percussion (including several varieties of xylophone and drums). It accompanies court dances, masked plays, shadow plays, and religious ceremonies. The pinpeat is analogous to the piphat ensemble of Thailand. Seen here are a roneat thung or low-pitched xylophone and a kong thom or gong circle.<br/><br/> The laterite temple of Ta Prohm was built by King Jayavarman VII on top of an earlier 6th century Khmer shrine. The result is a well-preserved gem of a temple, not unduly large, but with some splendid decorative features. The main sanctuary has five chambers, in each of which is a statue or a Shiva lingam.

This bas-relief shows a woman carrying a box on her head whilst a man bows in supplication to another, larger woman. The story represented is that of a pregnant woman who gave birth with the help of a midwife, but then failed to show sufficient respect to the latter. As a punishment, the midwife has condemned her to carry the afterbirth in a box on her head for the rest of her life. The man is begging the midwife to forgive his wife.<br/><br/> The laterite temple of Ta Prohm was built by King Jayavarman VII on top of an earlier 6th century Khmer shrine.

He was the son of King Dharanindravarman II (r. 1150-1160) and Queen Sri Jayarajacudamani. He married Jayarajadevi and then, after her death, married her sister Indradevi. The two women are commonly thought to have been a great inspiration to him, particularly in his unusual devotion to Buddhism, as only one prior Khmer king had been a Buddhist.
