Mari Amman Temple - Singapore

Singapore, the world's only island city-state, boasts its reputation as an exceptionally traveler-friendly nation. With a plethora of captivating travel attractions, it consistently ranks as one of the most frequented destinations on the global stage. In this article, we delve into the venerable Mari Amman Temple, Singapore's oldest Hindu temple.


Situated within the vibrant China Town district of Singapore, Mari Amman Temple traces its origins back to 1827 CE when it was constructed by Naraina Pillai, a Tamilian visionary. Over time, the temple underwent expansions, culminating in the construction of its towering edifice at the dawn of the 20th century CE.

Within the temple's inner sanctum resides Mari Amman herself, presiding as the primary deity. Additionally, the temple accommodates a pantheon of other revered deities, including Ram, Ganesh, Durga, Murugan, and Shiva. Notably, a shrine dedicated to Draupadi and her five husbands, the Pandavas, stands as a significant focal point within this sacred precinct.
  

Happy travelling.
