The Po Nagar Cham Towers are a complex of temples located on a small hill at the mouth of the Cai River near modern Nha Trang in Vietnam. The complex was built before 781 AD during the Hindu period of Champa. It is named after a goddess who takes the form of Uma, wife of Siva.
Indra is the Lord of Heaven in Hindu mythology. In the Rigveda, Indra is the king of the gods and ruler of the heavens. He is the god of thunder and rain and a great warrior, a symbol of courage and strength.
