According to the epitaph, in 875 King Indravarman II built a complex of monasteries and temples to worship the Lakshmindra Lokeshvara – a form of Bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara.

The architectures are surrounded by a rectangular wall on the East-West axis, each ring has a gate tower open to the east while there are statues of the Guardians on the two sides of the gate. The Buddhist sculptures in Dong Duong reflect the development of Mahayana Buddhism in Champa.

Despite the cultural influences of China, India and neighboring countries, the architecture and sculpture in Dong Duong still bear indigenous elements, creating a unique and impressive style in Champa art. This relic was studied and excavated by Henri Parmentier and Charles Carpeaux in the autumn of 1902.

Up to now, the Dong Duong relic has been almost completely destroyed by time and war; nonetheless, the antiques on display there still gave a partial visualization of the magnificence of the past temple complex and Buddhist temple.
