Thap Po Sah Inu temple, Hindu temple complex in Phu Hai, Vietnam.
Thap Po Sah Inu temple comprises three brick towers arranged on a raised platform, displaying elaborate stone carvings in Cham architectural style. The structures sit on a hillside and command views of the coastal region below.
The complex originated in the 8th century as a dedication to Shiva, with seven structures once standing on the site. Three towers have survived in their original form to the present day.
The temple honors Princess Po Sah Inu, who taught farming and crafts to local communities long ago. The Cham people who live nearby still gather here to perform traditional ceremonies and keep these practices alive.
The site sits on a hillside and reaches it by walking up a path, requiring modest physical effort to climb. Visiting during daylight hours works best to see the carved details on the towers clearly.
The main tower houses a Shiva Linga-Yoni stone carving, a rare representation of ancient Hindu symbolism for fertility and creation. This stone sculpture reveals how spiritual beliefs and artistic craft merged in this place centuries ago.
