My Son Sanctuary, Monuments in the sanctuary are the most significant structures of the My Son civilization. The tower temples have a variety of architectural designs that portray the beauty and holiness of Mount Meru, the mythical sacred mountain that shelters Hindu gods at the center of the universe.
