Po Nagar, Hindu temple complex in Nha Trang, Vietnam
The Po Nagar complex contains four main towers built with durable brick walls, decorated with intricate stone carvings and ancient sculptures reaching 23 meters high.
The Champa civilization constructed this religious site in the 7th century, dedicating it to the goddess Yan Po Nagar on a hill near the Cai River mouth.
The central tower displays a black granite statue of goddess Uma on a lotus pedestal, receiving offerings and prayers during ceremonies and full moon festivals.
The temple grounds open daily from sunrise to sunset, with guided tours available in multiple languages and a small entrance fee for maintenance purposes.
The construction technique used interlocking bricks without mortar, creating structures that maintained stability through precise weight distribution and architectural balance.
