From studies of the French in the late 19th century, Hindu temples in Champa culture were called Champa Temples, Champa Tower and since 2000, some Vietnamese scientists have called them Champa Tower-Temples. These concepts may be understood in different ways and the most exact concept in Hinduism is Champa Temple ? a house of god with his image. When there was a contact between Champa and India, Champa temples were built and in their development they created their own unique and particular temples of Champa culture: Hypaethral Temple, Roofed Temple, Structural brick or brick and stone Temple. There were not only temples with god-like sitting or lying form, but also the artifacts associated with the temple as dancing Shiva statue, fire, showing the gods to be active in the architecture of Champa Temple. This article would like to study Hindu temples in Champa culture i.e their characteristics to show how the Cham people received cultural elements from Indian people and then acculturated them into theirs. The building stages show some developments in time which still remain today. In comparison with that of Oc Eo culture and India, this article will throw light on Hindu temples in Champa culture in the middle of Vietnam.
