I think this is perhaps the nicest Hindu temple in Singapore. Near to China town, and accessable by foot as you explore the China town area, the temple is worth a visit. More

I walked to this temple after visiting the Buddha Tooth Relic. The temple has opening & closing time. I went there when the temple was closed. The temple itself was not closed but the main Deities were not visible. They were curtained in so we can see them. So do check the timing when visit this place More

Interesting Hindu temple! I like Sri Mariamman temple which located in Chinatown area. Don't have to be a Hindu to visit the temple. Hindu gods & goddesses are nice, colourful & beautiful. So, if you are in the area, just walk in & explore! More

We kind of happened upon Sri Mariamman while taking a walk through Chinatown, although I had actually planned to see it but forgot its location. The exterior decoration is definitely the coolest part. It is free to walk around inside the temple but if you want to take pictures there is a small fee. Not a must see, but if... More

As a first-time visitor to Singapore or South Asia, this is a fascinating and intriguing place. Travel-weary or experienced tourists may feel underwhelmed or bored, but the gopuram (tower) is colourful and extravagant, and the atmosphere inside can be quite electric during some of the temple’s activities. We happened to be in the area with our three kids (age 7,... More

You'd have to take off your shoes in front of the temple. Picture taking is allowed with A FEE. The structure in front of the temple is eye catching. There are also several statues inside - really colorful! Also, near Buddha Tooth Relic. Go there is you still have time. More

This temple is one of the most colorful in Singapore. It recently completed a renovation project, and the murals inside and the temple outside is very vibrant as a result. You need to remove your shoes to enter. More

So for Westerners it would seem weird to take off your shoes outside on a public street and just leave them there but that's what you have to do before you go into the temple. You can't miss this site...it is ornate and colorful and literally 1 block down from the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple. You might as well go... More

Located in the Chinatown part of Singapore this temple is a very one to visit. Easy to make a combo with Relic Tooth building and all the nice things of Chinatown itself (shopping/eating). Well maintained temple complex. Very colourfull and lots of details. Also very photogenetic place! More
