Thap Hoa Lai, Hindu temple in Ninh Thuận, Vietnam

The temple consists of three original towers built entirely of bricks, with the upper levels gradually decreasing in size toward the top point.

During the late 19th century, French colonists dismantled the central tower's upper section to obtain bricks for road construction in the region.

The remaining structures feature intricate carvings of mythical creatures, natural motifs, and Kala monster mouth decorations at the vault entrances.

The temple site stands along National Route 1A, approximately 8 kilometers east of the border between Khanh Hoa and Ninh Thuan provinces.

Archaeological excavations between 2005 and 2012 revealed a large Champa temple complex containing nearly 20 architectural structures beneath the surface.
