(QNO) - The conservation project for the E and F tower groups at My Son Sanctuary (Duy Xuyen district, Quang Nam province), funded by the Indian government, officially began following a meeting between Quang Nam’s leaders and an Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) delegation on February 21, 2025.
The conservation started in mid-March 2025 with a non-refundable aid of USD 4.852 million from the government of India, including tower restoration, drainage upgrades, and improved walkways, running until 2029 with a focus on preserving original structures.
Group E has eight structures (E1–E8), with most in severe disrepair except E7, restored between 2011 and 2013. Group F comprises three structures (F1, F2, F3). F3 was destroyed during the war, and its location is known only from old maps. F1, excavated in 2003, is in critical condition with visible cracks and weakened walls.
Vietnam-India cooperation on My Son began in 2014. From 2017 to 2022, India provided over USD 2.2 million to restore towers K, H, and A, leading to the recovery of 734 artefacts, including a stone relief from A13 and Vietnam’s largest monolithic linga-yoni altar, designated a national treasure. The project also revealed an ancient royal pathway in group K.
A 2020 joint vision statement reinforced both nations' commitment to heritage conservation. On August 1, 2024, on the occasion of Pham Minh Chinh’s India visit, the two governments signed a Letter of Intent to restore My Son’s F group, and the project was approved by August 19, 2024.
The successful restoration of groups E and F plays a crucial role in reviving the My Son heritage site, preserving its historical and cultural significance for future generations.
