Heritage Conservation and Tourism Development at Cham Sacred Sites in Vietnam
still recall my first visit to the Po Rome temple during the Katé festival 32 years
ago. As a child, my grandfather, who was well-versed in history, folk stories, and oral
traditions, often regaled me and my friends with tales of the Cham people, their kings,
and temples. I remember seeing the temple on top of the hill from our village and
feeling its sacredness, a sentiment shared by my parents and community. Although
I was too young to fully appreciate it, my family did not take me to the temple for
spiritual worship during any ceremonies or festivals.
