The pinpeat orchestra or musical ensemble performs the ceremonial music of the? royal courts and temples of Cambodia. The orchestra consists of approximately nine or ten instruments; mainly wind and percussion (including several varieties of xylophone and drums). It accompanies court dances; masked plays; shadow plays; and religious ceremonies. The pinpeat is analogous to the piphat ensemble of Thailand. Seen here are a roneat thung or low-pitched xylophone and a kong thom or gong circle.

The laterite temple of Ta Prohm was built by King Jayavarman VII on top of an earlier 6th century Khmer shrine. The result is a well-preserved gem of a temple; not unduly large; but with some splendid decorative features. The main sanctuary has five chambers; in each of which is a statue or a Shiva lingam.
