Indian Temples

Central Sikh Temple
2 Towner Road, Singapore 913236
Tel: +65 299-6440
The Central Sikh Temple was built to commemorate the 518th anniversary of Guru Nanak, the first Sikh guru. The chief place of worship for Singapore's 15,000 Sikhs, the temple boasts a skillful blend of modern and traditional architecture. The Granth Sahib, or holy book, is enshrined in a magnificent prayerhall that has a 13-meter wide dome.

Sri Mariamman Temple
244 South Bridge Road, Singapore 058793
Tel: +65 223-4064
This 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 fire-walking festival, Thimithi, is celebrated here. This is also a preferred venue of most Hindu weddings.
As you enter the gates of the temple, look up at the gopuram or the tower over the entrance of the temple. Covered with sculptures of gods, goddesses, and mythological beasts, this tower is visible from afar, so devotees can say their prayers even from a distance. Notice strings of fresh mango and coconut leaves hanging above the temple doors -– they are signs of welcome and purity. Do remember to remove your shoes and leave them outside.
At the door, devotees ask God to grant their requests by ringing the bells before entering. They also purify themselves by washing their hands and feet, and sprinkling water on their heads. Near the door, look out for the aluminum enclosure into which devotees break coconuts as a symbol of breaking their egos to reveal their pure and kind inner selves.
Within the temple compound, remember to walk in a clockwise direction and only encircle the temple hall an odd number of times as a sign of good luck. Look out for the offerings of bananas (symbol of abundance), mangoes, and even sari for the goddesses at the shrine.
Notice the use of the lotus, a symbol of human life to the Hindus, as a decorative motif. They believe that as the lotus bud stretches towards the sun despite its roots being embedded in mud, likewise, man strives for the spiritual despite being rooted in the material.

Sri Thandayuthapani Temple
15 Tank Road, Singapore 238065
Built on the site of former temples and dating back to the 1850s, this southern Indian temple is home to numerous shrines covered by a roof with 48 engraved glass panels angled to catch the sun as it rises and sets.
