Ta Prohm is the modern name of a temple at Angkor, Siem Reap Province, Cambodia, built in the Bayon style largely in the late 12th and early 13th centuries and originally called Rajavihara . Located approximately one kilometre east of Angkor Thom and on the southern edge of the East Baray, it was founded by the Khmer King Jayavarman VII as a Mahayana Buddhist monastery and university. Unlike most Angkorian temples, Ta Prohm has been left in much the same condition in which it was found: the photogenic and atmospheric combination of trees growing out of the ruins and the jungle surroundings have made it one of Angkor's most popular temples with visitors. UNESCO inscribed Ta Prohm on the World Heritage List in 1992.
塔普倫寺為柬埔寨吳哥古蹟的一座古寺廟建築，位於吳哥城東約一公里處。塔普倫廟興建於1186年，為闍耶跋摩七世為紀念其母興建，神殿內則是供奉「智慧女神」Prajnaparamita，傳說是依據闍耶跋摩七世的母親形象而塑造雕刻，這座古廟被發現時，遭當地人稱之為卡波克(Kapok)的大樹所盤據，當局曾經想把大樹除去，後來發覺沒可能，大樹與廟已連成一體，最終保留原狀，於1 992年列入世界遺產名單之內列，荷李活製作的{奪寶奇兵}在這裡取景，令它更揚名世界。
