History & Architecture of Khuong My Towers
Constructed from late 9th century to early 10th century, Khuong My Towers have an architectural style with distinct features of Khuong My style in Cham arts. It’s a group of 3 towers, including the central one used to worship Shiva god. At two other buildings, Cham people worship Brahma god and Vishnu god. Here are more information about these Hindu deities:
Brahma, the Creator: He is the first god in the triad, responsible for bringing the universe and all living beings into existence. Brahma is often depicted with four heads, representing the four Vedas (ancient Hindu scriptures). However, in modern Hinduism, Brahma is less widely worshipped than the other two deities.
Vishnu, the Preserver: He is the central and most important god of the Trimurti. Vishnu’s role is to maintain cosmic order, protect the universe from harm, and preserve righteousness (dharma). He is known for his various incarnations or avatars, such as Rama and Krishna, who descend to Earth to restore balance.
Shiva, the Destroyer: Shiva’s role is to destroy ignorance, evil, and the universe at the end of a cosmic cycle to make way for new creation and transformation. He is often depicted with a third eye, representing his spiritual wisdom, and a trident (Trishula).
In 1989, Chien Dan Towers were recognized by Vietnam government as national heritage.
There are many stone sculptures originating from Khuong My Towers that have been preserved in Museum of Cham Sculpture at Da Nang today.
