The temple design features side aisles and an altar, as well as a long central nave and a high dome decorated with clouds and saints. The main focal point is a Divine Eye symbolizing God which has the Ying and Yang icon in its pupil. Ceremonies take place daily with two services accompanied by musicians and a choir singing in English to traditional Vietnamese music.
Watching Caodaists pray is one of the major highlights of visiting the temple as they dress in long flowing robes with varying colours. Structured artfully and decorated in an absolute riot of colours, this temple is somewhat small, yet a nice and relaxing place to visit to understand the local culture.
