Po Sah Inu Cham Tower

Po Sah Inu is one of three groups of Cham temples and towers belonging to the Hoa Lai artistic architectural style, dating as early as the early 8th to 9th centuries. The group of towers is located on a hill formerly known as Ba Nai hill in Ngoc Lam village, Phu Hai ward (formerly Pho Hai), Phan Thiet city. Next to tower B in the group of towers there is an ancient pagoda, Buu Son pagoda, built in the late 19th century. At the foot of the hill is the sea, to the west of the hill is the surrounding Cai River flowing into the sea. The Po Sah Inu temple tower group has 3 towers including: Main Tower (Tower A), Tower worshiping the Fire God (Tower C) and Tower B worshiping the sacred cow Nandin (still in existence at the end of the 19th century, then lost). This is the only group of temples and towers built on high hills near the sea in the Hoa Lai artistic architectural style of Champa culture, while all other towers are located on high hills or plains far from the sea. . The Main Tower worships the god Siva, inside the tower there is still a Linga - Yoni altar, a symbol of the god, dating from the same time as the tower until now. From the 19th - 20th centuries, many people often called it Pho Hai tower, coinciding with the place name here. From about the 20th century onwards, the Cham people called the tower Po Sah Inu, the name of the princess, biological sister of King Podam and both children of Cham king ParaChanh, whom Vietnamese history called La Khai. After Po Sah Inu passed away, the Cham royal family built a temple to worship her in the grounds of Pho Hai tower. Thus, there was a period when this group of temples and towers existed with two names: Pho Hai and Po Sah Inu. The Main Tower is the largest and tallest tower in the group. The tower is 16m high; There are 3 floors in total, the two upper floors have the same architecture as the lower floor but gradually reduce in size as well as architectural and artistic details. Just like that, gradually getting smaller and soaring to the top along with the tower roof. Halfway up the tower's roof there are 4 vents in 4 directions, to ventilate and exhaust hot air inside the tower, partly creating balance between inside and outside, harmony between gods and heaven and earth. This is the spiritual highlight when dignitaries perform rituals and they believe that the gods from above come back this way. The Main Tower is also a place where the values ​​of physical and mental architecture as well as spirituality and religious beliefs are concentrated. Tower B: The tower is 12m high, has 3 floors like tower A but smaller. Inside the tower worships the sacred cow Nandin, which local people still saw from the late 19th century to the early 20th century, and then no longer saw it. During archaeological excavations from 1991 to 1995, some pieces and feet of the sacred cow Nandin were found. In front of the tower there is a large ceremony yard, currently used to set up a theater during the Kate ceremony. Tower C: Due to its original function of worshiping the Fire God, the architecture has only 1 floor including the base, body and top of the tower, the tower has a height of 5m; The width of each side is nearly 4m. Traces of collapse show that hundreds of years ago until the 80s of the 20th century, the top and roof of the tower collapsed along with the base of the tower rotting deep inside the tower body. After the renovation was completed, the tower's function was reused, but mainly as a place for people to leave offerings before entering the main tower for ceremonies. All three towers in the Po Sah Inu group have been renovated and embellished many times to have the current architectural shape and cultural space. From before until the first half of the 20th century, Cham people often performed many rituals here. Since 2005, the Kate festival has been restored with all the original processes of space, time, form, content and value as before. From the time it was restored until now and forever after, the Kate festival is held regularly every year to join the ancient Po Sah Inu tower in creating a destination to attract tourists and create momentum for tourism development.

Po Dam Tower (pronounced Po Tam) was built to worship King Po Dam, also known as Po Kathit (Ban La Tra Duyet) of the Cham people. The Po Dam tower cluster has a very strange structure and layout, it must be said to be the strangest compared to other tower clusters of Champa architecture. The Po Dam tower complex was ranked by the State as a national historical, cultural, architectural and artistic relic in 1996. Instead of being built on top of a hill or on flat land like many other tower clusters, Po Dam tower is located on the side of a hill. The Cham people call it Co Gada, and the Vietnamese in the area call it Ong Xiem hill. Of the 6 towers found, only the South tower (as named by French archaeologist Parmentier) has the main door facing east, towards the rising sun like most Cham towers, the remaining 5 towers in the tower cluster. Po Dam all face South, slightly West. Some researchers explain that the tower door facing that way is to commemorate ancestors, while the south direction is to the other world, the underworld. Anyway, these are two rare phenomena in the history of Cham tower architecture. Po Dam Tower is a cluster of towers built in the 8th century, the same age as Hoa Lai Tower in Ninh Thuan. Over 12 centuries of turbulence, coupled with a rather "unsettled" architectural position, the tower was quite dilapidated. In addition to the two towers on the North axis, which collapsed completely leaving behind only the linga, the remaining 4 towers on the South axis, none of the towers remained intact. Therefore, Binh Thuan province has a plan to reinforce, restore and renovate. In addition to the precious antiques found that the newspapers have reported, such as: pieces of ancient tiles with strange shapes, a set of stone grinding tables (called Rathung patau by the Cham people), two bronze mata rings, a bell small bronze, 1 iron ax, 1 copper-printed rattle, under the North tower shaft, people also found a yellow bowl (pata - patil) (possibly made of bronze or gold) and especially a skeleton that could is the remains that legend says belongs to the king's mother, Po Bia Than. Her grave - like that of Bia Than Cih in Po Rome Tower in Ninh Thuan - was later covered. In the south of the South axis tower, after excavation, the entire base with important relics is also visible. Po Dam Tower is one of the oldest and most strangely structured tower clusters in ancient Champa architecture in the southernmost region of this kingdom. Moreover, it is a cluster of living towers, meaning they are worshiped and worshiped every year by the Cham community in the area. Archaeological excavation is necessary to discover traces that corroborate history and collect artifacts to enrich the country's museums. But what is more necessary is how to restore the tower without damage and especially without being mixed, keeping the sacred part of the tower as its true Cham tower. Source: Binh Thuan Tourism
