of the provincial Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism hand over the
certificate to Co Lao Temple, Thong Nhat commune, Lac Thuy district.
Co Lao Temple was built in Com village in Muong
Teo in the past, now Ninh Thanh village, Thong Nhat commune.
The temple was a place to worship deities who
protect the villagers in Hau Bong commune, Lac Thuy district, Ha Nam province.
It has contributed to meeting the spiritual needs of people in the ancient
Muong Teo region and neighbouring areas and preserving local cultural identity.
Besides religious elements, the temple also holds historical significance as it
honours and expresses gratitude to predecessors and famous figures who
contributed to the cause of national safeguarding and construction. Five
ordinances conferred by the Nguyen feudal dynasty to the deities are preserved at
the temple.
Every year, on January 6 - 7, a festival is held
at the temple. The festival is an occasion for people to remember origins and
remind young generations to do good deeds for a better life. During the
festival, villagers spend time together playing folk games, which help to
strengthen solidarity.
With its formation, development and historical,
cultural and tourist values, the Co Lao Temple relic was recognised as a
provincial historical relic in 2023.
