What to See in Orchard

Sri Mariamman Temple

This active temple is the oldest and the most important Hindu temple on the island. It was built about 1843 in the South Indian Dravidian style by Naraina Pillai. The work and carvings on gopuram (the tower above the entrance) are so beautiful it's truly worth a visit. In the early days Sri Mariamman Temple was not used solely as a holy place for the South Indian Tamil Hindus; it was a place where many new immigrants lived before they got work and found their own places. Nowadays it serves not only as a place of worship but for many cultural social events such as wedding ceremonies and an annual fire-walking ceremony.
