Tips from locals
Just a few bus stops away along River Valley road, you will find one of Singapore's most important monument among the Hindu community. Built in 1859 by Nattukkottai Chettiar community.
A huge beautiful Hindu temple visited by many Hindu locals as well as a tourist. Special traditional Hindu festivals and ceremonies are also celebrated here. One particularly famous festival is Thaipusam where roads are blocked and traffic is redirected especially for the worshippers. Free yoga classes are offered once a week.
Sri Thendayuthapani Temple, commonly referred to as the Chettiars’ Temple, is one of Singapore’s oldest Hindu temples dedicated to Murugan, the Hindu deity who is also known as Sri Thendayuthapani. It stands as a living testimony to the Chettiars’ contributions to Singapore’s colonial economy.
