Representatives of the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism; leaders of Ham Rong ward and a large number of people and Buddhists attended the ceremony.
Chairman of Ham Rong Ward People's Committee Pham Duc Toan spoke at the ceremony.
Ha Temple used to belong to Duong Xa village (old Thieu Duong ward), where the god Dong Thuong Tran Hien Linh Ung Dai Vuong was worshiped.
Legend has it that Duong Xa village had a towering mountain on the river bank, with lush trees and a picturesque landscape. Around the Vinh Tri year (1676-1680) of Le Hi Tong's reign, there was a great flood, the floodwaters rose high, a god's tablet floated from the source to the top of the mountain and stopped. The people thought it was supernatural, so they brought the god's tablet to the river bank to build a temple to worship it.
Currently, at Ha Temple, people worship two gods, Do Bac Trinh Phu Ton Than and Quy Minh Ton Than, and hold incense offering and worship ceremonies on the 24th day of the 6th lunar month every year. The local government always pays attention to preserving, protecting, restoring and embellishing the relics, meeting the religious needs of the people.
