Sri Srinivasa Perumal Temple Singapore

One of the most important religious buildings in Singapore, this Hindu temple is devoted to the worship of Lord Vishnu (also known as Perumal). It is also one of the oldest temples in Singapore. Built in 1854, the temple was originally a simple structure with a mandapam, or a prayer hall, and the area around the temple had many ponds and vegetable gardens. In 1966, when the temple was consecrated, a six-tiered gopuram, or entrance tower. was built, funded by one of the earliest Indian migrants, P. Govindasamy Pillai. The temple is the starting point of the annual Thaipusam festival parade. At Sri Srinivasa Perumal Temple, there are few star features that you do not want to miss.
