Prasat Kravan temple was built in 921 by a group of nobility,
not the King.It is made of brick and plaster, and was dedicated
to the Indian god Vishnu.Unlike other temples at Angkor,
it has an unusual five-part facade with all the towers in a row.
The interior of the sanctuaries contain unique interior brick bas-reliefs,
which are not found anywhere else at Angkor.
The name Prasat Kravan, which means 'Cardamom Sanctuary'
is a modern name based on a tree which once stood there.
Like most temples at Angkor, the original name is not known.
