Kleang might be translated from store; however, it doesn't seem likely that these two sandstone constructions were only stores. The royal oath of allegiance carved to the entrance signifies that they might have served as reception places or perhaps homes for visiting noblemen and ambassadors. The North Kleang was made in wood under Rajendravarman II then reconstructed in rock by Jayavarman V, likely before the construction of the South Kleang. Furthermore, it has some of the best preserved carvings. The Southern Kleang wasn't completed. The Kleangs are unremarkable upon close examination however picturesque from a distance, standing among the Prasat Suor Prat.
Others belive that judges used it to imprison the accused until their culpability had been or not verified from the divinities who made them accept different sick treatments. However, a version far more romantic comes us from the local kid who confirmed us compared to these two buildings, situated opposing the royal platform of the Terrace of the elephants, behind Prasat Suor Prat as well as each eastern end of the Royal Plain, were designed for the musicians of the King who could therefore listen to the music in stereophony during his ceremonies. Best photographed in the afternoon.
