		Jayavarman VIII was a strong believer in Hinduism, but a brutal enemy to Buddhism.

		Jayavarman VIII was wise enough not to wage any war with the invincible Mongols at that time.

		It was the centrepiece of Jayavarman VII's building program, and the similarity of the faces on the temple's towers to other statues of the king have led many scholars to the conclusion that the faces are, at least in part, representations of Jayavarman VII (although Avalokitesvara is another possibility).
		Under the reign of Jayavarman VIII in the mid-13th century the temple was converted to Hinduism.
		Its bas-reliefs, later additions of Jayavarman VIII, are in stark contrast to those of the outer: rather than set-piece battles and processions, the smaller canvases offered by the inner gallery are decorated for the most part with scenes from Hindu mythology.

		Although Jayavarman VIII destroyed most of the temple's Buddhist images during his rebuilding, this one seems to have been spared, perhaps because it was mostly hidden by Jayavarman's reconstruction.
