Po Sah Inu Towers

An 8th-century Cham tower group on Ba Nai hill, overlooking the Phan Thiet river mouth.

Po Sah Inu is the surviving Cham tower group on Ba Nai hill, built around the 8th century in the Hoa Lai style — the earliest phase of Cham architecture still visible. Three red brick towers stand together, their outer walls left plain but for carving at the false doors and cornices, showing the restraint of the early period. They honour the goddess Po Sah Inu, daughter of a Cham king, who taught her people rice growing and weaving. The Cham of Binh Thuan still come for the Kate festival in the seventh Cham month, carrying offerings up to the towers to ghi nang drums and saranai reeds — one of the few Cham sites where ritual is still alive, not just preserved.
