Hi Everyone,
Welcome to Singapore.
Sri Mariamman Temple
244 South Bridge Rd, Singapore 058793
Nearest MRT is China Town MRT, Exit A and 5 mins walk towards the temple.
Even before Singapore was established as a British colonial outpost in 1819, waves of migrants including soldiers, traders and manual workers from the Indian subcontinent had settled here. By 1827, along South Bridge Road, Indian settlers built this Hindu temple, Singapore’s first. It was known as Sithi Vinayagar Gothanda Ramaswamy Mariamman Kovil. Sanctums dedicated to Sri Mariamman, Sri Vinayagar, Sri Subramaniyar and Sri Ramar, representing different Hindu traditions (Shakta, Shaiva and Vaishnava) were worshipped at this temple from inception. The early temple was a granite and lime plaster structure with a three-tiered tower. By the early 1900s, the temple was simply referred to as the Sri Mariamman Kovil.
