Mural paintings at this Phra Putthabhat hall were painted on the walls, the walls behind the doors and the columns. The paintings were painted in various stories including Vessanatara Jataka, Phra Malai and Buddha’s life. The walls behind the doors were painted with Pajittakumara Jataka, Julapata Jataka and Sin Chai. The columns were painted with Sin Chai stories, lotus bud and intertwined spray patterns. The painting techniques might have been influenced by the royal school of art in Bangkok. The techniques include patterns of the main characters, the palaces, and color status.

The entrance is on the east, the other three entrances are false doors and inside the false doors are holes made to place sculptures of idols.Currently, there are no traces or decorations on the prasat. The original architecture might have a wooden roof at the front of the building since traces of a large round pole and a lot of clay roof tiles on the floor of the lotus petal base.From the antiquities found in the area of Prang Srithep, an image of Shiva with four arms included, therefore the age of Prang Srithep is determined to be around the 16th-17th B.E.
