My Son was heavily damaged during the years when war raged through the country but, fortunately, enough has been mostly spared. Various temple ruins and relics are spread over a large field, where sometimes nature has found its way.Be amazed by the walls adorned with sculptures of gods, priests, animals, and scenes of mythical battles and devotion. The site was designed as a place of worship of Lord Vishnu. It comprised over 70 temples, tombs, and numerous samples with historically vital inscriptions in Sanskrit.
