The Po Nagar Cham Towers are an ancient temple complex located in Nha Trang , Vietnam , in Southeast Asia . Founded sometime before 781 C.E., the site belonged to the medieval Cham principality of Kauthara and remains one of the most important surviving examples of Cham architecture in the region. The towers are dedicated to Yan Po Nagar , the goddess of the land and fertility, who was later associated with the Hindu goddesses Bhagavati and Mahishasuramardini. In Vietnamese tradition, she is known as Thiên Y Thánh Mẫu , reflecting the blending of Cham, Hindu, and local spiritual beliefs over centuries. Surrounded by lush greenery and vibrant tropical vegetation, the brick towers stand as a powerful reminder of Vietnam’s layered cultural history. Today, Po Nagar continues to be both a place of worship and a significant historical landmark, offering visitors insight into the spiritual life and artistic heritage of the Cham civilization in coastal central Vietnam.
