History of productionAfter the death of Jayavarman IV, King Rajendravarman shifted his capital back to the original capital at Angkor. He ordered to construct the stepped pyramidal temple, Prasat Pre Rup, dedicated to himself at the bank of the East Baray, the East Reservoir.
ArtAt Prasat PreR up, the elongate pavilions surrounding the main complex were firstly introduced. These pavilions are possible to be the storages or the rest houses. Interestingly, these pavilions are not yet the connected ones. This anticipates the connected elongate gallery which would be firstly initiated at Prasat Takeo.
