The People's Committee of Lac Thuy district on February 29 held a ceremony to receive a certificate recognising Co Lao Temple as a provincial historical relic. Within the framework of the ceremony, leaders of the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism, Lac Thuy district, delegates, and locals offered incense at Co Lao temple.



Leaders 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.
