The Thap Binh Lam, also called Kalan Binh Lam, is a 10th century brick tower Hindu temple in Binh Lam village of Tuy Phuoc district, Binh Dinh province Vietnam. It is notable for being among those temples that are midst a village on a natural mound, rather than being on top of a hill.
The Thap Binh Lam has a square plan (11.5 meter x 11.5 meter), about 20 meters high with shrinking repetition of the temple motif in the upper storeys. The temple faces east. Bands of the outer walls were carved with Hindu motifs. The original dedication is unclear, though a small dedicatory 11th century Shiva linga in the jatalinga form found here is now preserved at the Binh Dinh Museum in Quy Nhon. Similarly, a Gajasimha vyala (lion-elephant fused mythical creature) motif has some similarities to those found in other Hindu temples of southeast Asia.
