Abstract
This article aims to examine the architecture and characteristics of sculptures at the
Po Ramé temple in Ninh Thuận province, Vietnam. There are the statues of Po Ramé himself,
the queen Bia Su Can, the queen Bia Su Cih, a Nandin cow, a linga and a kut depicted more
meaningfully. This provides clear assessment of preservation works that have been completed
at the contemporary temple. In practice, those initiatives of the conservation effort figure out
very first achievements that are definitely useful for improvement later on. Therefore, potential
directions of preserving those heritages are proposed respectively from short, medium and long
term in the future.
