Last year during my stay in Nha Trang, I had

most beautiful examples of Cham architecture in
central Vietnam.
The Ponagar Cham Towers consist of four
towers. They are located on Culao Marble Hill,
two kilometers North of Nha Trang. They were
built between the 8th and 13th centuries.
The remaining towers were dedicated to
different gods. The largest tower was built in honor
of Lady Thien Y. The 22,5 m high tower contains
her sandstone statue sitting on Buddhas throne.
The 2,6m high statue has 10 hands, holding
specific objects illustrating the power of Buddha.
