The Terrace of the Leper King has carvings of nagas (dragons), demons and various mythical beings. The inner wall was built first, and the outer wall was added later covering the inner wall. Archaeologists excavated the inner wall in the late 1990s.
Located at the north end of the Terrace of Elephants, the terrace was named after a statue on its platform. Many associate the statue with Jayavarman VII, whom locals believed to have suffered from leprosy. Some historians believe the structure represents Kubera, the god of wealth, or Yasovaraman I.
