Ta Prohm Kel
Temple in Siem Reap
Ta Prohm Kel is a small, ruined sandstone monument located within Angkor Archaeological Park in Siem Reap Province, Cambodia.
Ta Prohm Kel was one of 102 hospital chapels constructed by King Jayavarman VII across his empire, many of which were already in existence. The sanctuary faces east and features false doors on the remaining three sides. It was preceded by a small sandstone gopura (gateway), traces of which can still be seen to the east. The temple’s decoration follows the style of the Bayon, with carvings of devatas (celestial spirits) and small roundels enclosing figures. Additionally, a somasutra (a channel for draining lustral water) runs through the north wall of the sanctuary.
