Roots from the large Banyon tree appear to swallow parts of the temple - roots sought crevices among the large stones of the building.
Ta Prohm was a Buddhist temple built in the 12th century - originally known as "Monastery of the King." Although the temple is being restored via a Cambodian/Indian project, the building has been left mostly untouched by archaeologists except for the clearing of a path for visitors and structural strengthening to stave of further deterioration. On UNESCO's World Heritage list since 1992.
Ta Prohm is conspicuous in the movie "Tomb Raider" with Angelina Jolie.
In Angkor, Siem Reap Province, Cambodia.
