32 Goddess Bhuavaneswari Statue in Mariamman Hindu Temple in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam

In Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, is the 19th century Mariamman Temple. She is the Hindu goddess of fertility, rain and the cure for heat-based diseases. Above the gopuram (rectangular tower entrance) and inside the main temple are colorful, ornate carvings and statues (called murtis) of similar deities, including Bhuavaneswari, the all-powerful Queen of the Universe. After the take-over of South Vietnam in 1975, the temple was converted into a joss (incense) stick factory, but is once again an active Mandira (Hindu place of worship).
