During the reign of Jayavarman VII, he practiced Mahayana Buddhism. The temple of Preah Khan has a rectangular layout that is 800 meters long and 700 meters wide.

On either side of the four gopuras, there is a statue of "Gurud" on the floor of a dragon carved into the temple walls. Prasat Preah Khan is not only a temple dedicated to the Father.
