The Champa Dynasty ruled over what is now central and southern Vietnam from 192 to 1832 CE. It was a monarchy that began under King Sri Mara and saw its peak of power under King Che Bong Nga in the 14th century. The Champa economy depended on maritime trade and exported goods like eaglewood. Culturally, the Champa embraced Hinduism and Buddhism while also interacting with Islamic traditions over time. They are known for their architectural legacy at sites like My Son, Po Nagar, and Po Klong Garai, with distinct architectural styles like My Son E1, Dong Duong, My Son A1, and Thap Mam.
