The Pratap Swami temple of Tappar Wari Pora – also referred to as Tapar and in historic texts as Pratapapura – is an 11th-century Hindu temple complex. Though a panchayatana complex with five shrines, only the foundations have survived. The main temple was large, had a mandapa and garbhagriya, stood on a 60 feet x 60 feet jagati. It has a gateway, now in ruins and some walls that were likely a part of a peristyle. This temple is mentioned in Kalhana's Rajatarangini text. It is also mentioned by the Kashmir historian Hassan's Tarikh as a temple built by Pratapaditya and destroyed by Sikander.
