Phu Day Temple Complex (Tien Huong and Phu Van)

Phu Day, in Van Cat village, Nam Dinh Province, is the historic center of Dao Mau, the Vietnamese Mother Goddess religion. Its two temples were built within a few years of each other in the seventeenth century: Phu Van, traditionally considered the first, in 1642, and Tien Huong between 1643 and 1649, which became the main center of the cult of Lieu Hanh, Dao Mau's best known goddess. Both are still active temples of worship, carved with the elaborate wooden sculpture typical of Lieu Hanh shrines, and together they are the site named in Vietnam's Phu Day Festival, held annually in her honour.
