Ta Prohm Kel

The sandstone monument of Ta Prohm Kel stands within the Angkor archaeological park, featuring intricate decorations and a central sanctuary with three false doors.

King Jayavarman VII ordered the construction of Ta Prohm Kel in 1186 as one of 102 hospital chapels distributed throughout the Khmer Empire.

The temple walls display detailed carvings of devatas and roundels depicting various figures that represent the artistic achievements of Khmer civilization.

The temple location at coordinates 13.41569° N, 103.858635° E makes it accessible by tuk-tuk services from Siem Reap with local guide assistance.

A somasutra channel runs through the north wall of the sanctuary, designed to drain lustral water used in ancient religious ceremonies.
