1. Ta Prohm is a temple located in the Angkor region of Cambodia. It was built in the late 12th and early 13th centuries and was originally dedicated to Mahayana Buddhism. The temple is known for its mass of intertwined trees and ruins, which have become a popular attraction for tourists visiting the Angkor Wat complex. In fact, the temple’s ruined state has been intentionally preserved, with the trees and vegetation left in place to create a sense of mystery and ambiance. Some of the most remarkable features of Ta Prohm include its impressive carvings, ornate doorways, and the various roots and vines that have grown into the structure.
