Description: Ancient Hindu temple in Nha Trang, Vietnam. This is one of the surviving Eastern-most Hindu temples known in contiguous mainland Asia. The design is quite different than the numerous Hindu temples of Cambodia and Laos, but share some design features of Hindu temples of Indonesian archipelago. This suggests Hinduism may have arrived here through Java and Bali. Nha Trang is a coastal city and capital of Khánh Hòa Province, on the South Central Coast of Vietnam. It is bounded on the north by Ninh Hoà district, on the east by the South China Sea, on the south by Cam Ranh town and on the west by Diên Khánh District.
