Đồng Dương was the capital city of the kingdom of Champa from 875 AD until 982,[1][2][3] or until 12th century AD.[4] It was built and ruled under the reign of Buddhist king Indravarman II (r. 875-890) and some of his successors belonging to the Bhrgu dynasty in Đồng Dương.[5] The word Indrapura means "City of Indra" in Sanskrit, Indra being the Hindu God of Storm and War, and King of the Gods in the Rig Veda.
