Lakshana Devi Temple, Bharmour, Hindu temple in Bharmour, India

The Lakshana Devi Temple features intricately carved wooden entrance frames, a three-storied pediment, and traditional architectural elements characteristic of mountain temples.

Built around 680 CE during the reign of Meru Varman, this temple stands as the oldest structure in the former capital of the Hindu mountain kingdom of Champa.

The temple contains a brass statue of Durga as Mahishasuramardini with four arms holding a trident, sword, bell, and demon tail in the sanctum.

The temple's wooden carvings display motifs of Hindu deities, river goddesses Ganga and Yamuna, and natural elements preserved through centuries of isolation.
