Summary
[edit]DescriptionThap Banh It, Nhon Hoa 02.jpg |
English: The Thap Banh It is one of a dozen Cham heritage sites near Quy Nhon in Binh Dinh province of central Vietnam. Visible from the highway and railway tracks, the Thap Banh It site sits on top of a hill. It is a major Cham Hindu site with many structures. The complex includes Thap Bia (Posah), a main brick temple (kalan), a mandapa in front of eastern gopura, a repository with saddle/hut shaped roof, a gopura (gateway) to the east, and another gateway to the south that is also called the stele tower because it historically hosted a stele with Sanskrit inscriptions.
The Banh It Cham Hindu temples complex belongs to the Vijaya architectural group. It is dated between 975 and 1025 CE, with evidence that the site was enhanced further in the 11th and 12th century. The main temple is dedicated to an anthropomorphic Shiva statue from the 11th century of exceptional artistic quality. The original was taken and is now at the Musee Guimet in Paris, while a copy sits inside the sanctum of the main temple. Similarly, the stele from this site was moved and thereafter has been missing during the French colonial era. The temple is notable for its Vijaya era architecture and artwork. |
