The lively drum performance marked the opening of the 2026 Fourth Temple Festival, creating a vibrant atmosphere and attracting a large number of local people and tourists from all over.
The Chầu Đệ Tứ Temple is a provincial-level historical and cultural relic associated with the Vietnamese belief in the worship of the Mother Goddesses of the Three and Four Realms. According to legend, Chầu Đệ Tứ (Princess Chiêu Dung) was a saint who served the king and the country, and was entrusted with guarding the waterways of Hà Trung. The temple is situated in a location "backed by mountains, facing the water," with its back against the mountain and its face towards the Lèn River, creating a sacred space with picturesque scenery.
The grounds of the Fourth Goddess Temple are beautifully decorated, welcoming visitors to the festival.
Building on the historical value of the site, this year's festival was organized with many unique cultural and spiritual activities. On the opening night, traditional rituals such as drum performances, lion dances, and the opening drum ceremony were performed solemnly, creating an atmosphere of excitement.
Delegates and citizens attended the opening ceremony.
The festival was lively with folk art performances by the people of the villages, praising their homeland, country, historical traditions, and folk culture.
Each performance had its own unique style, contributing to the joyful and lively atmosphere of the opening night.
On this occasion, the Fourth Temple of the Goddess provided financial support for the construction of two charitable houses for disadvantaged families, with 80 million VND allocated to each household. Additionally, they donated 20 million VND to Ha Ngoc Kindergarten and 32 gift packages to elderly people in Kim De village, Ha Trung commune. These gifts were donated through social contributions, helping to ensure social welfare in the area.
