The platform of the elephant is the platform of the king's parade, facing the road to the gate of victory, and the soldiers who returned triumphantly from the gate of victory are here to receive the king's review. There are many exquisite sculptures on the outer wall, which are worth enjoying.

A building with many elephant nose sculptures, the biggest highlight is the elephant nose landing, acting as a star of the pillar, and not relief, preserved late, very shocking effect, connected with the Douxiang platform.

At certain times of the year, the Terrace of the Elephants is lit up at night and they do cultural performances or festivals here. Looks stunning at that time.
Such a culture is so complete that it is worth our consideration.

The Terraceof Elephants looked like a giant parade stand, once used by the Angkor Kings for celebrations and elephant fights. Legend has it that through the competition, the winning elephant can become the king's mount, while the loser can only carry stones and work hard. The walls under the platform of war elephants are carved with dense Buddha carvings, and the three-headed elephant mount of the God Indra, with its trunk linking to the ground, is still delicate although it has been broken. Zhou Daguan's "Zhenla Fengdu Ji" records that there was a magnificent wooden building on the platform, and there was a mirror shining on the pillars of the building.
