| History of production | Prasat Damrei Krap is the only example of Cham architecture in Cambodia. This temple is actually the evidence of the relations between these two kingdoms, either the religious relation or the settlement of the Chams at Phnom Kulen.. |

| Art | Hoa Lai style of Cham architecture is characterized by the pilasters which are normally arranged in the series of four and the band decoration in the center of these pilasters. These characters are similar to Hoa Lai style in Vietnam. The Garuda decorating the capital is also reminiscent of the same pattern at Hoa Lai. However, this temple is unfinished because the band at the center of the pilasters is devoid of any motifs. |
