Sri Mariamman Temple



Sri Mariamman TempleThis magnificent structure is Singapore's oldest Hindu temple, dating back to 1827. The brick bones of the present building were built around 1843. Later additions have included a profusion of deities carved all over its walls, bell-decked doors and frescoes on the ceilings.
The firewalking festival, Thimithi, is celebrated here. This is also a preferred venue of most Hindu weddings.
