Neighbourhood: Little India
With a strong local Indian community, this pocket of Singapore can feel like another place and time. Wander past traditional barbershops while local residents in brightly coloured saris patronize retailers from decades past. Peruse streets lined with colourful shops as the aroma of curry tempts you to indulge. Listen to the Bollywood music echoing from storefronts and take in the stalls selling bright flowers, fabrics, and spices. At the 24-hour, four-level Mustafa Shopping Centre, you can shop through the night and find everything from pharmacy and grocery items to Bollywood DVDs and diamond necklaces. Singapore’s Little India offers a colourful, lively taste of the subcontinent and is well worth the visit.

This is one of Singapore’s oldest Hindu temples and oldest one dedicated to the Goddess Kali. The temple is fairly typical of South Indian style of architecture with a 5 tiered gopuram. I’ve seen so many South Indian temples now, it’s hard to know how to rate them. This one is above average for it’s decorations and popularity. Fine to have a look if you’re in Little India, but don’t go ouot of the way to see it.

Like all Hindu temples this is incredibly welcoming and, if you are lucky, there is a pooja going on whilst you are there. The artwork is sublime - don't miss Nandi residing on the wall! Its a temple predominately devoted to Kali, so she is depicted in a number of different guises. Don't miss the wonderful Nataraja on the right hand wall on your way out. Modesty garments are available but beware the astroturf at the shoe changing area if you are wearing socks and its rained. The astroturf absorbs a lot of water and can make your feet very soggy for the journey back to where you are staying!!

The was our last temple visit during our time in Singapore, and was a bit underwhelmed. Enjoyed the sights, sounds and smells of walking from the MRT to the temple itself. The temple is on a really busy road. The outside is incredibly beautiful and ornate. The door is magnificent. But once inside the temple found it a bit run down and main access was restricted. The Buddha Tooth temple and Sultan Mosque are much more impressive.

A beautiful hindu temple that should not be missed if you’re in Singapore. The people are exceptionally welcoming to all visitors, but one should be respectful by dressing appropriately (covering knees and shoulders) and by removing one’s shoes before entering. The temples statues tell amazing stories and the priests will offer blessing with your offerings. Definitely worth the visit.

Hindu temple in Singapore. Many believers do visit daily and perform their worship, the priest give blessing to them. Statues everywhere reflect a huge background history and culture I guess.

I always worship this temple whenever I walk pass it. This temple is popular among tourists and Indians esp workers who like to pray to the Kaliamman deity here. This temple is said to be proven holy and helpful to a lot of poor people. I believe if you pray wholeheartedly to this deity your wishes will come true.

This Indian Hindu Temple is in the Chinatown neighborhood. The tower is on the corner of Pagoda St. The towering artifact is a stunning display, colorful, and detailed. Workers were at the top and still placing more statutes at the top.

This is a maakaali temple, in dravidian architecture in Singapore. The temple architecture is beautiful as always in all the dravidian temples. The aura and positivity is amazing. Just felt like seating peacefully and spending more time in the temple. Jai maa kaali.

The first thing that struck me about this temple was the ornate decorative features inside and out. This was soon overtaken by the complete reverence shown by worshippers and visitors that this temple commanded. It was truly amazing. Inside you can witness blessings, offerings and other traditions being carried out. There are various shrines positioned throughout the complex each with its own special meaning and the locals were happy to explain things. I visited quite a few times at various hours of the day . I was surprised at how many people went there for blessings etc. on their way to work in the mornings and from then on there were always patrons, sometimes crowded but that just added to the experience. One word of warning, when you visit you need to take your footwear off outside and as there may be literally hundreds of shoes there just make sure to remember in what position you left yours. On most occasions I went there was an elderly man seated outside, whom many worshippers acknowledged. I spoke with him on several occasions at length and he was fascinating to listen to as he gave great insights into religion generally and what was taking place at this temple specifically. A couple of times I visited there was a group at the back of the temple giving food/meals to worshippers and visitors alike. I understand this too was done as a form of honouring the beliefs.
