Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
Sri Mariamman Temple is Singapore's oldest Hindu temple, built in 1827. The temple's main gate cascades with carvings of colorful Hindu gods, animals and people. The gopuram (entrance tower) just inside the main gate is heavily decorated with six tiered layers of statues. Inside the temple, the air is thick with the scent of burning incense. Throughout the year there are all sorts of festivities and events. Once a year, Thimithi or Kundam—the fire dancing festival—is held and the holiday celebrations are lively. The temple is also a popular venue for many Hindus to trade their wedding vows.

Yesterday morning (12 Feb 2023) the Sri Mariamman Temple at South Bridge Road had its once in twelve year’s consecration ceremony. It was a most joyous occasion attended by thousands of Hindu devotees who highly regard it as a place to fulfill their religious aspirations and needs. Granted that it is Singapore’s oldest Hindu temple, it is a precious national monument whose existence is tied intimately with the development of Hinduism here and which is familiar to many locals regardless of language, race or religion. The fact that a Buddhist temple and a Muslim mosque are its neighbours attests to the healthy interreligious relations we enjoy.
One of the places I take friends who visit Singapore for the first time. Awesome temple art & structures!This temple is walking distance from Chinatown or Telok Ayer MRT.Address : 242 South Bridge Road
Along the way, we saw a small Indian landmark building called the Hindu Temple of Villa Makaria Man. We also saw the Hindu Temple of Sri Niwa Shabelluma not far away, where many believers came to worship. Instead of taking off our shoes and visiting the temple, we enjoyed the special painted doors outside the temple. These Hindu painted doors belong to the typical South Indian architectural style. The towering towers above the doors are decorated with many three-dimensional color gods, including Hindu gods and sacred objects such as bulls and fighters. Under the blue sky, white clouds and sunshine, these inanimate sculptures shine and shine.
God Hindu Bless You and your family happy new year 2023
