Caodaism is a new religion - it became official as recently as 1926 in South Vietnam. Devotees practice ancestor worship, non-violence, vegetarianism - all with the purpose of achieving union with God. There are millions of them now.

This temple is the largest temple of that religion in Central Vietnam. For visitors, coming across this temple is often surprising, not least because most have never heard of the religion before. They are often taken aback by the five images of the various religious founders - Jesus, Buddha, Confucius, Lao Tse and Muhammed - all of whome are considered saints. Presidingover all these is the all seeingDivine Eye. It is beautifully decorated inside with a great blend of architectural features from different religions.

From the outside, the building of yellow walls and rose colored tiles looks like a cross between a cathedral and a mosque.
