Cao Dai Holy See is the main Cao Dai Temple in Vietnam. It is located in Long Hoa Village, about 96 km (59 mi) to the northwest of Ho Chi Minh City. This headquarters of the Cao Dai religion was founded in 1926. As the temple (or church) is located in the village of Tay Ninh, it is also often called the Tay Ninh Holy See.
The vast interior of the Cao Dai Holy See is ornate, and painted in bring yellow, organge, green and pink. The supporting columns have dragon motifs, reminiscent of Taoist temples. The religion venerates Buddha as well as Jesus Christ. God in the religion is symbolized by the Divine Eye, specifically the left eye.
At the temple you can see devotees in their white attire while members of the clergy in colorful costumes. Light comes in from the stained-glass windows decoracted with the motif of the Divine Eye.

About this website
Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
