Ta Prohm is the current name of a temple at Angkor, Siem Reap Province, Cambodia, inherent the Bayon style expansively in the late twelfth and early thirteenth centuries and initially called Rajavihara . Found give or take one kilometer east of Angkor Thom and on the southern edge of the East Baray, it was established by the Khmer King Jayavarman Vii as a Mahayana Buddhist cloister and school. Unlike generally Angkorian temples, Ta Prohm has been left in much the same condition in which it was discovered: the photogenic and barometrical mixture of trees developing out of the remnants and the bush surroundings have made it one of Angkor's generally well known temples with visitors. UNESCO engraved Ta Prohm on the World Heritage List in 1992. Today, it is a standout amongst the most visited edifices in Cambodia's Angkor district. The protection and restoration of Ta Prohm is a partnership activity of the Archaeological Survey of India and the APSARA (Authority for the Protection and Management of Angkor and the Region of Siem Reap).
