The people of Cham kingdom follow Hinduism so that they believe those Hindu Gods of Shiva, Brahma, Vishnu as Protectors for them and for their kingdom. Firstly, the French discovered My Son Sanctuary in 1885. Later, they had spent more time researching all about this site and come to conclude that My Son Sanctuary was the most typical and most valuable Hindu site not only in Vietnam but also in Southeast Asia.
