Lady Po Nagar

Lady Po Nagar

According to Cham legend, Lady Po Nagar was the founder of the Cham nation. She was born into a farming family in the Dai An Mountains of the Khanh Hoa Province. With the help of the spirits, she sailed to China hidden on a piece of sandalwood. There, she married a royal heir and bore two children. After many years, she returned to her home and established a Cham nation there.

At the beginning of the first century, a Javanese man bringing with him the cult of Vishnu arrived in Champa. His name was Houen Houei. There, he married the Cham queen Leiou Ye (identified as Lady Po Nagar). Houen Houei later established the kingdom of Lin Yi (Lam Ap), later known as Champa (Chiem Thanh).
