It was built in the [[Bayon]] style largely in the late [[12th century]] and early [[13th century]] and was originally called '''Rajavihara''' ({{langx|km|រាជវិហារ}}, [[Romanization of Khmer#UNGEGN|UNGEGN]]: {{transliteration|km|Réachvĭhar}}, [[Romanization of Khmer#ALA-LC Romanization Tables|ALA-LC]]: {{transliteration|km|Rājvihār}} {{IPA|km|riəc.vihiə|}}; "Royal Monastery"). It was founded by the [[Khmer Empire|Khmer]] King [[Jayavarman VII]] as a [[Mahayana Buddhist]] monastery and center of learning dedicated to his mother.<ref name=lp/> Almost 80,000 people were required to maintain or attend at the temple, including over 2,700 officials and 615 dancers.<ref name=lp/>

The temple is referred to as the "[[Tomb Raider]] Temple" or the "[[Angelina Jolie]] Temple" due to its depiction in the film ''[[Lara Croft: Tomb Raider]]'' (2001).<ref name=lp>{{Cite web | url=https://www.lonelyplanet.com/cambodia/temples-of-angkor/attractions/ta-prohm/a/poi-sig/500632/1002179 | title=Ta Prohm | work=[[Lonely Planet]]}}</ref><ref>{{cite news | url=https://www.theguardian.com/film/2010/nov/25/angelina-jolie-temple-cambodia | title=Holy Jolie: Cambodian temple takes Angelina's name | first=Catherine | last=Shoard | work=[[The Guardian]] | date=25 November 2010}}</ref>
