CAMPA Eastern Indo-China, now Annam, once the seat of great Cam kingdoms, must have been Hinduised at an early date, for we find traces of Hindu kingdoms both in the north and south as early as the end of the second century A.D. All the early, and much of the later architecture was wooden. The remains are of two peri ods, one classic from the seventh century to about 1 Too, the other that of the decadence. The sacred city of Mi-son was founded about A.D. 400, but the great brick tower now surviving was built on the site of the original wooden shrine soon after 6oc. The plan is square, but the cella is twice as high as it is wide, and the effect of height is increased by the narrow decorated pilasters which emphasize the vertical lines ; the pyramidal roof consists of three diminishing storeys, repeating the form of the cella on a smaller scale. The decorative motifs include makara niches, geese with extended wings, both old Indian motifs, and acroteria silhouetted against the sky; on the whole we are reminded of Indian Gupta towers, and the pre-Khmer towers of Cambodia. In addition to this main shrine there are six great halls for the accom modation of pilgrims; for Mi-son was a sacred city rather than a place of habitation. Later, about Boo, a great temple and monas tery, the only important Buddhist buildings in Campa, were erected at Dong-duong by Indravarman II. ; but the place was soon ravaged by the Annamites, who were continually pressing downwards from the north and ultimately accomplished the ruin of Cam civilisation. Sanctuaries were built again near the new capital of Binh-dinh at the beginning of the 11th century; the colossal towers of Duong-long, and those known as the Towers of Gold, Silver and Copper, are striking monuments. But it was no longer possible to build up great temple cities in honour of the gods. The Annamites penetrated even as far as Nha-trang, and took possession of the temple of Po Nagar; only Po Klong Garai remains in Cam possession, and here worship is still conducted.
