Poshanu Cham Tower – A Unique Cultural Heritage of the Cham People in Phan Thiet

Historical Significance of Poshanu Cham Tower

Poshanu Cham Tower is one of the most significant cultural and historical relics of the ancient Cham Kingdom, situated on Ba Nai Hill, approximately 7 km northeast of Phan Thiet city center. Built in the late 8th century, the tower is dedicated to Shiva, a powerful deity in Cham belief, and serves as a historical testament to the Cham people’s architectural and artistic creativity. The site is also linked to the romantic love story between poet Han Mac Tu and Mong Cam at the nearby Lầu Ông Hoàng (Prince’s Castle).

Unique Architecture and Cultural Importance of Poshanu Tower

Poshanu Tower was constructed in the distinct Hoa Lai architectural style, a classical design of the Cham people. Its most remarkable feature is the red brick material, seamlessly joined without the need for any adhesive. The tower’s four sides are square-shaped, adorned with intricate carvings that reflect graceful artistic details. The Poshanu complex consists of three towers, with the main tower standing 15 meters high and facing east, believed to be the dwelling place of the deities. Poshanu Tower vividly showcases the essence of Cham architecture, offering visitors a glimpse into the enduring legacy of this ancient culture.

Experience the Vibrant Kate Festival of the Cham People

Visitors coming to Poshanu Tower during the Kate festival—a traditional celebration held in September or October (Gregorian calendar)—can immerse themselves in the lively atmosphere of this festival. Traditional Cham dances, performed by young women in vibrant attire, accompanied by the sounds of Paranung drums, Kanhi string instruments, and Saranai flutes, create a captivating cultural experience. Guests can also participate in the ritual of offering sacrifices to pray for luck and peace, a beautiful and meaningful cultural tradition of the Cham people.
