Sri Mariamman



Singapore is dotted with an impressive number of Buddhist monasteries, Hindu temples, Christian churches and Muslim mosques. Sometimes all sitting next to each other. The oldest Hindu temple is the Sri Mariamman founded in 1827. I believe it currently needs a bit of maintenance and renovation or at least a little of paint but it nevertheless remains an interesting feature if you happen to visit it at the right time (which means when something is actually going on and the gods and goddesses are not hidden behind curtains).
