Abstract

In recent decades a large number of artifacts related to Hindu belief have been discovered in southern Vietnam. They have been found in various types of archaeological sites and clearly played different functions in the religious beliefs and daily lives of the people who created them. These valuable archaeological sources provide interesting information on the penetration of Hinduism into the area. This essay will address the following subjects: The distribution of these artifacts and the sites where they have been found; their connection to Hindu beliefs and their illustration of styles of Hindu art; and the role of maritime networks of trade in the development of Hindu beliefs during the state formation period in Southern Vietnam.
