Chúa Temple is situated in the middle of the slope on Ðại An mountain (also named Qua Sơn) in Ðại Ðiền Trung Hamlet, Diên Ðiền Commune, Diên Khánh District. This temple is the worshipping place of Holy Mother Thiên Y Ana, a goddess much revered in Khánh Hòa. According to a legend carved in 1856 in a stele at Ponagar Temples, the Temple is seen as the origin of the Holy Mother where She lived with the foster parents during childhood. Ponagar Temples are the worshipping place when She had been deified. It is why right from the beginning of the Nguyễn dynasty, Thiên Y Ana was nominated Hồng Nhơn Phổ Tế Linh Ứng Thượng Ðẳng Thần (the Prime Goddess) and the rituals at Chúa Temple are often held in dedication to a national deity and must be presided over by the leading person of the province. The festivity is organized every year on the first day of the 3rd lunar month, starting the traditional Ponagar Festivity of Khánh Hòa’s people held on the 23rd day of the 3rd lunar month. It can be asserted that Chúa Temple Festivity still retains the greatest number of traditional rituals of the Viet people in Khánh Hòa.
