Summary
[edit]| Description |
English: Gateway into Ta Prohm with Bayon faces.
Even though the relentless force of the vegetation has caused so much damage, it was felt that they should leave at least one temple in Angkor as an example of the “natural state” as found by the early explorers, this was Ta Prohm. This temple was one of Jayavarman VII's first major temple projects. Ta Prohm was dedicated to his mother. It was originally constructed as a Buddhist monastery and was enormously wealthy in its time. A Sanskrit inscription gives details of the temple. Ta Prohm controlled 3,140 villages. It took 79,365 people to maintain the temple including 18 great priests, 2,740 officials, 2,202 assistants and 615 dancers. Among the property belonging to the temple was a set of golden dishes weighing more than 500 kilograms, 35 diamonds, 40,620 pearls, 4,540 precious stones, 876 veils from China, 512 silk beds and 523 parasols. Considering these numbers Ta Prohm must have been an important and impressive monument. |
